We're currently losing the fight against the corporate hold on social media and it doesn't seem like that'll change anytime soon.

People are actively moving to BlueSky while AP is also undergoing some corporate control through the SWF funding.

The worst part is the feeling that I am powerless because I'm not a programmer nor do I have tons of money to spend like any corporation.

@BeAware and on that note: the sirens were going off when the admins of the three largest Masto instances met with Meta under an NDA.

@BeAware I'm nopt moving. I went there for more mainstream content, but my main posts are still here.

@the_spc great to hear. I've seen several people I follow move over in the past 2 weeks and it makes me sad that most people just seems to want a corporate overlord who can tell them what to say and how to say it.

@BeAware LOL Some people think Bluesky is federated. -T

@the_spc without a marketing budget mastodon is not going to reach people who find federated systems too complicated to understand grrr @BeAware

@pdh_sedlr @the_spc that's probably why there's threads integrating that will help people know about it.
