By producing content on a platform you are encouraging others to stay on that platform.

@Em0nM4stodon users are the whole asset of any social platform after all.

We have a responsibility to post (and repost) meaningful stuff. Else we're just mindless pawns in the hands of the media billionaires. You are what you promote.

@xinit @Em0nM4stodon his posts are good, informative, and he believes in factual reporting. These are great things about him, its just awkward that he posts pictures of his bsky posts and doesn't just crosspost.

@Em0nM4stodon It really disappointing me how many people refuse to leave Twitter/X regardless of how bad it becomes. I guess it proves people are willing to put up with the worse enshittification and still won't leave.

@Em0nM4stodon looking directly at Bluesky and Substack.

I used to follow some meaningful journalists, but cannot any longer because they’re on those to platforms only. They think they have to be there in order to have an audience. It’s upsetting.

Engagement bait, cropped screenshots with no alt text, alternating between Dark mode and Light mode. Big "maliciously compliant intern" energy coming off his entire Fedi presence.

The exact text is right there on each original skeet. It would be very little work to paste it in, or add it to the automation in whatever software is making these posts.

And he's so obviously Not On Here.

I had to block him too; I follow some people who were boosting him a lot.

Almost every one of his posts here has numerous replies about the lack of alt text, which he will never see.

You're already on a slippery slope when you start calling what matters to you "content", that you are "producing".

Once a platform encourages you to think like that, you should seriously consider leaving it.

@Em0nM4stodon I do I promise!! My late father's every day goal was to make another person smile or uplift them, and that has grown down on me 🫂

@Em0nM4stodon @kzeta By not producing content for popular platforms, you are limiting the audience for your content.

Think about that, too.

There has to be a compromise that satisfies your needs and conscience.
