Yet you continue to use it…

This is what I don't get, people not migrating from a shit platform. Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, etc.

They all just reach this critical mass where people decide the benefit of everyone else using it outweighs all the negatives of the platform being abusive to its own users

Part of it is entrenchment. I never did the Twitter thing. Quit Instagram simply cuz I thought the app sucked. Ditched Reddit for Lemmy because Reddit is a cesspool that gives WAY too much power to dipshit moderators.

But I'm still on Facebook simply because I use it to plan birthdays and other events because its interface for events is pretty useful and more people I know are on Facebook than other apps, so it's just really the best option for events. I don't use it for anything else anymore, but it wins when it comes to events. It also reminds me of people's birthdays.

Entrenchment is why a lot of big names and reporters stay on Twitter. They've got so many followers it's hard to try to get all of them to migrate.

I will say this though. If Facebook was operated by someone like Musk in the way he operates it, I'd force myself t pull the plug. Zuckerfuck isn't great, but he hasn't trashed Facebook to quite the degree Musk has trashed Twitter....yet.

Even with facebook's recent TOS changes?

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

As far as I know you still can't get away with the hard R on Facebook. And Zuckerfuck isn't personally banning people that upset him like Musk does.

Two shitholes, but not equal.
