It became the only reliable source of information I had. People posted links with a minimal amount of commentary, picking and choosing the best content from other social media networks. They’re not doing it to “build a brand” because that’s not a thing in the Fediverse. It’s too disjointed to be a place to build a newsletter subscription base.

Referring to self-hosting, human moderators as "authorities" is hilarious.

I remember when, here in Missouri, the people wanted to regulate predatory payday lenders. Those opposed called their fucking organizations "Such and Such for Equal Credit Access". Sounds nice right? Almost like the term "Diversity of Thought".

What you refer to as "empowerment", I refer to as a cancer. It needs to be cut out, like they did back in the day on Cable Street.

If you feel so disempowered, go have a conversation with Grok. He'll make you feel super special.
