   Great piece on BlueSky and enshittification by @pluralistic. “I will never again devote my energies to building up an audience on a platform whose management can sever my relationship to that audience at will.”

     I'm a Cory fan.

     But if his message is he can't leave X, I'm calling bunk.

     He has a newsletter, he's in the Fediverse. The customers who he depends on - folks like me who buy his books and what not - will follow him.

     If we're going to have a better world for the children we have to make uncomfortable changes. Stop eating anything with a face or a mother, divest from fascists like Musk, consume way less.

     Anything else is rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

     @spinbackwards he doesn’t talk about Twitter/X in his piece at all, how is that his message?

     @molly0xfff @pluralistic tbh if they're a POSSE-doer and that's the message... it would probably be good to get a mention of that in that post or any post it links to.

     As much as I enjoy Mastodon, it's really not any better with regards to "ability to enshittify and take your profile" because accounts are linked to sites, and portability is cooperative instead of controlled by the account-owner. Any host that disables that cooperation locks you in just as much as twitter/blusky/email/etc.

     @molly0xfff @pluralistic oh wow I just realized this Molly White is the Molly White behind Web3 Is Going Great website. I had wonderful time looking at the pages of it during the stupid NFT boom. 😂 I was sad before because I was out of the loop as a suffering artist and promises was cunning... "all artists will finally get rich" etc. In the end we saw what happened. But during of all that craze Molly's website helped me to get through.
