I wonder why you have that stance. Can you please explain?

I've already gone into this elsewhere. You'll find it if you scroll through my comment history, which isn't very long.

You can also read about the "enshittification" word that's been trending, or how this dynamic is nothing new and how the outcome is predictable given events that happened a decade ago with Google and XMPP.

At some point, history just repeats itself. Meta is a fucking terrible company that offers no real benefit to humanity, and will only serve to make things worse.

People like Elon Musk, at the very least, provide narratives that are realistic about what we're up against.

What people (apparently?) don't realize is that Meta is aware of the political landscape, and they're using that to their advantage.

They know that the left is so invested in their hatred of Musk that they'll be welcomed by them, but what the left doesn't realize is that Meta is a Trojan horse.

My opinion is that billionaires shouldn't be billionaires - it should be a crime to have that much wealth.

That said, they obviously do have that much wealth; the world obviously works a certain way and you must accept that if you want to improve things in any real capacity.

People see some billionares die in a sub accident. Yes, it was their fault. Yes, it was incredibly fucking stupid. Yes, the father was a bastard for being so ludicrously careless that he killed himself and his own son.

But they die and we laugh about it and make fun of them because it makes us feel better about ourselves.

And that's a weakness. It's low - undignified and an aspect of the Internet and its humanity that should only be treated with scorn.

Then you have these people hating Spez and what he did to Reddit while literally promoting the exact same inevitable outcome for Lemmy by cheering Threads on.

Where is the coherency? There is none - it's just mob outrage, and that level of incoherency is counter productive.
