if I had a nickel for the times I put my eggs in a dying website I'd have two and even though it's not a lot it's disappointing it happened twice

i like bluesky cuz I know it isn't filled to the brim with bots but the mods and the way this site is for artists and trans folks is somewhat unreliable and makes us feel unsafe.
It sucks twice over because there aren't a lot of places to go back to, like...I would feel so much less unsafe if there was the certainty of another place where everyone is, but that's long since been dead....
literally. i wish there was a place where everyone can just, migrate to and not be run by people who are liberals+ tolerate fascism because they care about money and codes than their userbase
This is capitalism working as it is intended to. It plays the middle ground publically while taking investors and boards as it's M.O. behind closed doors and advertising by appropriating the people's voice initially. It's the playbook. We need to dismantle the system. They have no reason to listen.
Do stupidity and transphobia just come with being in the tech industry? Would certainly explain why this keeps happening.
Fear and Money... They are complying in advance predicting the GOP's attacks and Federal f*ckery. Bluesky is already in Repugplicans crosshairs for being a "haven" for Liberals. This handing your bulky your lunch money at the start of the school day to keep him from taking your allowance.
It's so hard bro i am trying so hard to like, keep my foot in some platform so i can sell my comms since this is all making me possible to make some money and social media keeps stabbing artists in the back π I don't even know where i could possibly go at this point
I've personally been using Newgrounds for a while now since its a site specifically for artists and is very open about nsfw stuff. Personally I've never seen any transphobic stuff from there, and its a pretty good place to have all your art in one place
I wish I knew how to run/create forums or message boards and just have something built like. From the ground up inclusive to trans people
