Dump it.

All of it.

I don't care if the rest of your family is on Facebook, and too stubborn/lazy to move elsewhere.

I don't care if your favorite celeb is on Instagram and nowhere else.

I don't give a single rat's fuck if the nice old knitting lady whose TikToks are so wholesome can't be found elsewhere.

The centralized social media sites support the fash, and you are enabling that with your engagement.

"But Mastodon is too hard.." NO. It's called learning something new. That's your convenience addiction talking.

Fucking find your soul and dump them.

@TheLastOfHisName Tiktok up here in Canada has just gotten so much better in the last day or so. Perhaps this is just an american problem which does not affect me in any way....

@TheLastOfHisName Can someone explain to me what's hard about Mastodon? Short of setting up a personal server it's been very straightforward from my perspective.

@bensondynamics For many I have talked to, it's having to go to the trouble of finding a server ("But which is the BEST?!"), then following hashtags, curating their own feed...for some it's a lot of footwork they would rather have done for them.

@TheLastOfHisName Definitely can sympathize with the first point. The options can be overwhelming.

The others.... I know we all have our own opinions, but the self-curation is kind of the bad that comes with the good. We all intuit that these platforms are manipulating us, maliciously or not. Taking back someone's power over you means a more manual experience.

To be clear, I know I'm mansplaining. Thanks for your notes, that's the first time I've seen someone articulate actual objections.

@TheLastOfHisName

Unfortunately - #MutualAid is shit on by many here in the #Fediverse and until folx who claim to want #Black #Brown #queer and #disabled and otherwise marginalized peoples alive stop shitting on #MA many of us are stuck there

I've always had more support to stay alive and away from #ACABs on those platforms than I ever have here

For us it's not about entertainment - ik what you're saying and I kinda agree but, the reality is only the privileged can "dump it"
