Before, in the olden times, the internet was just a bunch of random websites and forums and IRC AND USEnet.
Now it’s, “Where SHOULD I GO to be seen others and be validated?!?!”
I sound old. And I am. But,
“…the world thrives on its faults and strives, by every possible means, to aggravate them, while at the same time masking them like a congenital deformity. The signs are everywhere, though I could not always read them.”

I just thought the fediverse was going to be free of corporate/advertising/tracking shit-show.
If it isn’t going to be free of corporate bullshit why be here instead of Instagram or Twitter or Facebook?
What is the difference? None.
I used to care. But now? I don’t care where people go on the internet. Why be invested in fediverse if the fediverse is just another FaceBook?
They will take everything and shit on it.
What’s the point in being here if the corporations are coming here?
Yeah. There was a guy calling everyone a eugenicist for simply saying we need less people to help bring down climate change.
He said that was just a ploy.
I can’t wait to not exist, for many reasons. But people like that is at the top of my list.
Every. Single. Time.
“but with its currently starting commercialization”
Wait. The fediverse is going commercial?
Or oil and corn and meat and dairy.
How can you “still” judge me after six minutes? Give it 10. Then we shall see.
Goddamn it!
No. Radishes are cool as a cucumber. Or maybe not, since radishes are kinda spicy. But still. Radishes are might the best maybe be.
Edit: I was being silly. Which I never do. So maybe it didn’t come across like that.
Pirate “services”?
How to play?

Yes. But not for a long time.
I can believe it. Easily. No problem at all.
Ooohh I see it. Apologies. I don’t know how I missed it.
I don’t understand. Why did you get banned?
Parasites can’t be scavengers.
Not as huge as it seems when we know we don’t have to kill for food.
Also, the west eats a good deal more meat than needed for living.
It’s funny that people think this is cruelty to animals, but they don’t think killing tens of millions of cattle a year for food is cruelty to animals.
Then there is the hundred of millions of pigs killed a year for food.
It’s fascist only if people don’t choose on their own, making the choice, entirely their free choice.
