On Mastodon, there's two groups of people:
1. Those who want to recreate Twitter
2. Those who want to bury Twitter, then pave over its grave
I'm of the second group.
Let me go further: my problem with Twitter isn't Elon Musk.
Elon Musk is just taking Twitter to its logical conclusion.
No, my problem with Twitter is that it's centralized social media that funds itself through surveillance capitalism.
And THAT is why Twitter needs to be dead and buried.
And Twitter isn't alone in my contempt.
The following social media needs to be dead buried too:
* Facebook
* WhatsApp
* Instagram
* TikTok
* YouTube
All of them are awful.
All of them need to die.
For those in the back who don't understand this:
No, the problem with modern social media isn't the *people* who use it.
That's just Big Social trying to pass the buck -- yet again.
The problem is literally that the technology exists to watch you, and then wring all monetary worth out of your existence.
Tech is the core problem.
@atomicpoet The other problem is trying to convince people of that and get them over to the fediverse.
