"Places like cohost and federated platforms are free of algorithms, free of hidden rules."
HAHAHAHAHA
Okay, seriously, I have yet to see a single one of these "Actually, you should Simply rebuild your everything elsewhere, half a dozen elsewheres if you're smart" fucks genuinely acknowledge that they're simultaneously sneering at using social media for Audience, and assuming that that's all it's ever for.
Social media users are also, y'know, people. Including the most vulnerable of people, who are more likely to literally die by having a mainstay of their support system taken away. There is no Simply, for a lot of people. There is no rebuild. And there's definitely no Diversify To A Dozen Platforms.
You've heard shit like US govt natural disaster warnings, that have been abruptly nerfed with an accompanying death toll by having the Twitter posting API snatched away? There's no Simply for that shit, either. Literally none.
Every last sanctimonious "well you should Simply" asshole wants to tell you out of one side of their mouth that Content is a degraded and degrading word, while out of the other side they're shilling 100% pure Content Creator Hustle Strategy on the total assumption that there is nothing else on the social web, no other purposes, no other uses, no humans.
