I'm not sure how to feel about having all of my feelings about various siloed tech platforms, operating systems, and tech companies more broadly so fully and brutally borne out.
Like I hated FashBook long before it enshittified, I dumped reddit when it started blocking third-party API access, I stopped using Google years ago. Been using Linux since 2012.
I wish my choices were just down to me caring about privacy, owning my own data/software etc.
But JFC this ongoing abuse and exploitation of the users of these platforms really makes me wish I was just being weirdly eccentric rather than (accidentally) prescient.

In case it's not clear, when a sociopath explains away bad behavior by saying it was "just a joke", they don't mean they were making a joke to be funny. These so-called jokes are a test to see who is in-group and who isn't. If you think it's a good joke, you're part of their group. If you don't think it's a good joke, you're their enemy.
This is why their humor sucks. They're not making jokes to be funny, but to weed out the people who don't think they're funny.

Today, we remember the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration and extermination camp 80 years ago.
The Nazis killed around 17 million people, including 6 million Jews. Jews, Sinti, and Roma, so-called asocials, homosexuals.
Antisemitism is rising again and we must stand against it.
My friend @skiles has made a hobby the last few years out of making websites critiquing anti-queer lobbying organizations and SEO-hacking them to high rankings for that organization's name.
Eventually one of them, a subsidiary of Focus on the Family, filed a complaint against one of his sites under the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy system of the World Intellectual Property Organization at the UN.
He won!
