I will never again devote my energies to building up an audience on a platform whose management can sever my relationship to that audience at will.

The whole piece is worth a read.

Personally, I go one step (or several) farther: I will simply not join any new social platforms. Ever. Period. I even made some AI images to celebrate the occasion:

For me, it’s not a question of services that start out good and then gradually through market pressures enshittify – because that’s literally every platform. It’s more about my experience of the paradigm of social media – at base – is already fundamentally profoundly shitty.

I don’t want *any part* of my experience of life to be ruled by likes, follows, subscription membership counts, traffic analytics (I have none on this site), etc. etc. It’s a train that goes on and on forever and you cannot get off, and all the other passengers are hostile as hell, and there is no food and nowhere to sleep or go to the bathroom. Why people still participate in that shit and why they expect it to be any different with a new coat of paint and new management is so beyond me that its unfathomable at this point.
