I can just revive my old blog! Which no one ever read. And no one will probably ever read.
Or I can go to a site controlled by a man-child madman.
Or to a site with a racism slider.
Or to a site that requires you to use your Proper Legal Name so that it has easier time selling your data to rightwing think tanks.
I guess compared to this, a perspective of spending $25/mo on the privilege of having social media presence doesn't sound that bad.
