Wait, what!? There's a "choose a server" prompt when creating an account on Bluesky too!? Wtf are people complaining about the fediverse and then going to Bluesky for then!? Jesus Christ, does people just enjoy being controlled by billionaires?

@forteller no, it's more that people prefer systems that give them better user experiences and better match what they want out of social media, and not all of us share that consuming concern with billionaires.
Great, that's your crusade, your ax to grind on about.
But it's just not relevant to so many of us, so it doesn't enter into our decisionmaking.
It's just another form of celebrity gossip, and that's just not interesting to so many of us.
Cause: a person signs up for the platform that gives them the better experience for them
Effect: They receive the experience that's better for them
That's why people do it.
They don't care about the billionaires like you do. They have other interests.
So it's not that they just enjoy being controlled by billionaires--it's that they don't care about billionaires, but they DO care about the better experience they get on those platforms.

What I'm reading here is that you're saying that a lot of people, yourself included, have an incredibly poor grasp of cause and effect.
