    Right, but they’re shit and don’t good things out of principle.

    We, the Fediverse, are the alternative to them.

      Doesn’t matter if they’re shit or not, they don’t want bots crawling their sites, straining their resources, or constantly shit posting, but they do anyway. And if the billion dollar corporations can’t stop them, it’s probably a good bet that you can’t either.

        Because they want user data over anything.

        We want quality communities over anything.

        We can be selective, they go bankrupt without consistent growth.

            … Yes? What does that have to do with anything?

            Those companies want an easy quick way for people to join because they want constant growth. That means not doing any sort of real checking or verification, it’s not because these billion dollar company cannot afford to, it’s because they don’t want to.

            Their problems are not our problems.

              it’s not because these billion dollar company cannot afford to, it’s because they don’t want to.

              Have you tried to sign up for one of these services recently? It’s a fucking nightmare. They can’t stop them. Money is no object and they can’t do it.
