I agree with everything you don’t like about the other platforms but I don’t understand what people mean by “being the product”. I haven’t used traditional social media in almost a decade so maybe that’s why, but being censored or outright kicked from an instance is definitely frustrating. I have to use leet to get around YouTube’s censors, don’t even get me started on the fediverse. The fediverse can eat a bag of d**ks.😂

I don’t follow individuals on here, other than the developer of the client I use, but I’m sure we’ll cross paths. Cheers.🍻
