Sigh..
No. We'll just make a new mastodon/ lemmy-verse without them. Its easy enough. At a certain point the world needs to understand that its these companies, not the format, we're avoiding.
"We" are a minority share of the market and no one really cares about "us". "We" are irrelevant and we will keep being irrelevant unless we start actual and effective evangelizing for an open web.
This is not just about "avoiding", it's about fighting for culture change.
I'm fine with that personally. I'd much rather have a small social network containing people who are like me (at least in some respects) than a huge one filled with people I hate and garbage AI content.
Do you "hate" your family? Your neighbors? Co-workers? Normies?
No but I don't care about seeing them on social media. I don't desire that at all, if I am gonna keep in touch with someone it will be in person or through direct messages.
You don't need to see them just because the same network as you. But they need to be here if we want corporate social media to die.
Not necessarily, but Facebook certainly makes it easy to 😉 more importantly I'm not at all interested in being connected via social media with any of those people, aside I suppose from "normies" because that could really be anyone, but I'm not that bothered.
