I hate to sound sour like this but when you lie about how we're able to convince these suckers into getting our way, and continue to think we'll just "weather the storm" as we lose our community members, it makes people feel unsupported.

Don't obey!!!

btw, if you need help with finding a space:
- Go for instances that have sign-ups be manually reviewed, these are more trusted
- Instances focused around a topic normally allow "off-topic," you're just united with a common interest
- You'll probably want an app like "Fedilab" for a better time

i'm tired of rich slimeballs running everything and would rather deal with the myriad of community leaders and members that live there. i would rather overcome my choice paralysis than hoping they "see it in their heart" or "maybe they will just give it to us."

i'm feeling a lot of doubt right now and how much we bend our backs over just in case they "listen" or something sounds a lot like "pray hard enough and give us money and it will happen"

maybe we can take some time to make a contingency plan. mastodon, fediverse, whatever else have you.

i love my [little freak]
