This piece really, really deserves a read: Stop Talking to Each Other and Start Buying Things: Three Decades of Survival in the Desert of Social Media

This article from 2022 does a very good job of capturing the social media landscape and the condition of political discourse right now. It highlights one thing that I’ve been hearing a lot and agree with, the cruelty is the point.

It's beautiful.

This is the angry, raw, user side of what @pluralistic@mamot.fr refers to as "enshittification". This is the user experience that I have had over and over again. This absolutely deserves a read, and will hopefully inspire lots of us to fight like hell to keep corpo interests out of our free exchange of ideas and fediverse.

I am not a product. I am not a program. I am a user.
