"But it's so pretty there"
I truly despise choosing things solely by technical sweetness, when obvious mechanisms like enshittification are so likely.
But I do get that mastodon has serious problems, hopefully fixed "soon".
It took me six months to really make mastodon work for me, and I was lucky enough to get on a great instance. It's rough here that way.
But "convenience" is such a consumer trap... It's the precise way in which so many things are made ruinous.
Sometimes good things require effort. I personally refuse to be part of corporate media. There are none trustworthy in 2024, and certainly there will be zero in 2025 on.

@tomjennings @briankrebs I'd love to hear from both of you what your rough patches are.
