MODERATORS
If people didn't leave Twitter when it became an unholy cestpool of alt-right propaganda, they have chosen to stay there because their audience is the alt-right.

The only viable alternatives are Stoat or Steam Chat. Teamspeak is still dragging their feet when it comes to modern feature support.

What's wild to me is that I'm not on corporate social media, and the outrage has absolutely exploded on Mastodon and Lemmy. I wonder how bad it has gotten on the corporate media sites, because there's no way the algorithm hasn't noticed it.
It reminds me of when OnlyFans (stupidly) told us all they weren't going to allow porn anymore, as if that wasn't the core of their business.

Well, I hope that Revolt/Stoat picks up most people.
that will do it. was thinking about over-moderation and reddit mentality moderation ideas/power trips. never jumped into tw/reddit/ but the ad buisness model infected everything. no ads and contributions feel good too
The practice of making a "free" thing so you can whore your MAU numbers out to private equity to keep the lights on should be wholesale abolished.
Discord was always an overhyped crap.
It's basically IRC, with 2 good features (voice, video) and a whole helluva lotta bullshit features that only exist to be monetized (Nitro, stickers, etc).

I'm already making backups and deleting all the posts and DMs I made on discord. Yes I know they probably have everything backed up, but there is always a possibility that they lose that shit or don't fully back up everything. I am not interesting in playing along with their bullshit.
