I will switch if something better comes along that is decentralized.
The profit motive poisons everything and turns it to shit. I won’t join a social again if it can be purchased to turn me into another metric on a spreadsheet for someone to sell.
“Schools need to stop teaching my kids about how their crotches function! That’s the parent’s job!”
So when are you going to teach them?
“Fuck you! That would be uncomfortable so never! And if their ignorance gets them in trouble I will be there to condemn them for their mistakes and never let them forget it like any good parent!”
To me its tragic that the smartest human to exist in living memory had his societal, socialist worldview swept under the rug by the capitalist pigs.

My hope is that AI supplants and destroys us first, because it’s a far less embarrassing epitaph, and gives us a legacy.
Otherwise we’re going to self-destruct terraforming the planet against human life because we were too bone dead fucking stewwwpid to stop pumping shit into the air to make plastic crap to make the snake oil owner class richer as they laugh at how dumb we peasants are to do it.
Basically the sapient species equivalent of dying attempting autoerotic asphyxiation in terms of embarrassment. At least Sapient AGI would outlast us, and possibly even be able to learn from its mistakes and overcome its shortcomings as humanity proved in painful detail it never could or would.
Make no mistake, we’re boned by our own hand. The only question is which of the monsters we’ve worked to create with malicious(insatiable greed) intent will get to do the honors 🍿
Sigh
