Yeah it makes no sense to me how dumb people can be. Like

"Yeah let's move away from one proprietary social media that got enshitified to another proprietary social media that will definitely enshitify"

I don't know how many times people have to learn the exact same lesson before they finally figure it out but I think there's a fucking quote about that.

If it hasn't already, moving from corporate owner to corporate owner will become some sort of ritual, a modern form of tradition.

My brother in law …moved from Apple to Google cause he decided he hated Apple.

That's a first step. He'll soon hate Google and move to GrapheneOS and start self-hosting. No, wait, that was me. Never mind.

My contract with Three/iPhone13 ended in January, that phone was done for (Charging port) but my other half’s 13 was fine. I’ll burn this out and then get a Fairphone and do similar. Don’t get the point in swapping one big tech for another big tech.
