It's really sad that entertainment overall has become a landlord economy. The people who own the platforms make the money. The people who provide the labor make crumbs in comparison.
“Average musician makes $12 a month on Spotify. The fact that they are not even able to sell a record and it’s taken from them by rich motherfuckers on streaming platforms who get paid royally by record labels,Ticketmaster, merch companies.

Still 6 stops from downtown Minneapolis and the train is already at capacity. Announcements being made telling people more trains are coming. The platforms are full but no one can get on. No Kings.

Interchangeability is what new social platforms like Bluesky and Mastodon are doing, though with different technologies and different ideas on how to do it.
When you hear talk about decentralization, it's about making the social platforms interchangeable to solve the neutrality problem.

Social platforms are not neutral
So they need to be interchangeable

Cory Doctorow’s theory of “enshittification” explains how tech platforms rot from within. As AI grows more profitable—and powerful—it risks the same fate.

You do not WANT this kind of dissent to appeal ONLY to us filthy communists/anarchists/socialists. And prospective party leaders seeing millions in the streets voicing disapproval will have an effect platforms.

Also remember there is no algorithm here. Your quote-posts to dunk on them are helping them out when they can't game the system like they do on other platforms. Don't make their jobs easier for them. Just block and move on.
Remember:
- they DO NOT CARE about your arguments/rebuttals
- they DO NOT CARE about your dunks
- the person running the accounts was specifically hired to drive engagement BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY; it’s the algorithm they’re catering to
This is a game, and to them you are data to be manipulated.

this exact model of interacting online has saved me so much stress while interacting with the torment nexus
Platforms like Twitter actively encourage your cortisol addiction

Love how the Trump regime thinks they’ll be able to spread propaganda on the pro-democracy platform everyone ran to as a direct result of their infiltration & transformation of other platforms into Nazi-sympathizing surveillance tools. They should’ve learned when JD Vance got blocked into oblivion.

There seems to be a concerted, coordinated effort from the White House and various governmental agencies to join Bluesky en masse prior to the "No Kings" protest and flood the zone.
A reminder that the Trump admin is monitoring social media platforms to find excuses to revoke visas:
