There’s a lot of takes in “why won’t people leave X platform”

Mainstream is a toy for some. The poorer you are, the more you are trying to be independent of capitalism with no support?
The more you need platforms where people already are.
I know a lady who got solvent via social. A year later she still can't afford ads.

Look up erasure if you don't understand how that is part of the marginalization process.

What do people exoect them to to? It's like telling disabled people to boycott Amazon, like Walmart is better.
As if the alternatives are affordable to people who have to pinch every penny.
You want people to stay off Threads & birdchan?
What's the alternative for them. It takes months or years to have a viable audience on other platforms.
Especially when mutual aid or talking about your store gets little traction.
