Probably some combination of:
Part of me really buys into the idea that Musk is pulling an evil mastermind move with his other billionaire pals, destroying one of the biggest social media sites to keep users fractured. End goal keeping any community small and unable to organize at scale. Then the voice of reason tells me this just another egotistical nepo baby trying to staunch the hemorrhaging of money from his last bad investment.
Did you mean that you've never heard of a non-trans woman using Linux?
...Are we the baddies?
I'm still surprised how GoT was on the forefront of pop culture and within 2 seasons any and all interest was morphed to apathetic disdain. No one really talks about it anymore. It's only "they fucked up the ending". Blue balled an entire fandom so bad that it impacted the show runners careers. I'm really hoping HotD brings the fandom back (also, a reboot of the last 2 seasons as a whole new show would be dope)
They have taken advantage of mechanisms that siphons money from the working class. By default they're not good people. Once you're old and aging, spending SOME of your massive fortune to try to leave a benevolent legacy, which in itself is selfish, does not make you a good person.

Etc. Etc.
It doesn't cost money, you could just pay to remove ads. Unless you want all the super fancy features with premium. I bought sync for reddit years ago but I'm sticking with the regular non-premium with Lemmy.
They're just one big gang. Once you're sworn in, youre "family" and will be protected by the very powerful police unions. We desperately need reform. Or at the minimum, they should require a bachelor's to reduce the amount of people who're in it for the power trip.
