  • They are brainwashed supporters of genocide. I read about a guy who left to get his 2 newborn twins registered at the hospital and they got killed along with his wife while he was away.

    "No innocents."? Fuck you. I wouldn't wish this misery on my absolute most hated enemy.

  • The fact that this would've put Bernie out of a job years ago is a hard no for me. Campaign finance reform so we don't have a bunch of corporate stooges in power, and getting rid of FPTP make more sense to me. Better alternative candidates will have a chance, as well as life-ling civil servants who are proven and lovee by their communities

  • Not as inefficient as the ungodly sums of money these parasites have sucked out of the US economy to fund their obscenely wealthy lifestyles and attacks on democracy to suck more money out of tax payers by gutting our social programs so they can give the top 1% yet another handout.

  • It was nothing personal, more of an off-handed commentary on how things usually end up going after 20 years of seeing literally every site/service I've used and most of the companies I once considered "the good ones" eventually get shittier in some way when the business side puts on the squeeze.

    The one exception I can think of is Wikipedia.

    But I don't have any reason to think badly of these folks, their current owners seem to have their hearts in the right place and indeed have made decisions that avoid lockin and assure users, and I hope they are another Wikipedia that will endure the tides of enshittification.

    But I will never again assume that such hopes will remain the reality, even in this case. This is a snapshot in time. Owners change, priorities change, pricing models change, file formats change, common sense statements of basic decency like "don't be evil" get rescinded, scrappy fun websites created by free-thinkers become tools of fascist oppression.

    That doesn't mean they don't deserve your business and support currently. Just make sure your off-ramp options remain acceptable if things begin to change.
