today marks the first time i've had to block a page element in mastodon
fuck. i don't want to have to move somewhere else again.
between the significant criticisms of Eugen's actions, the eagerness with which people want to introduce genocidists from meta (both the company and its users) into the fedi, and more and more "features" being added, this feels a lot like the early years of every one of the social networks i've had to leave
» the devs make compromises
» the devs make engagement a KPI
» the core features don't improve
» monetization
if ya'll aren't a fossil like me, you might not have seen this happen with friendster, reddit, myspace, facebook, and on and on.
† please don't explain federation and forks to me. if you aren't concerned about seeing things like this pop up every few months, i have no interest in explaining why it's an issue
