#JillBearup -- "I've Been DEMONETISED💲: The Saga So Far"

It's extremely Brazil/Modern Times

I'd consider this a relevant example of @pluralistic 's talk about how #socialmedia like #youtube needs #fireexits to avoid #enshitification.

"I would love to use #Bluesky, not least because I am fast approaching the point where the costs of using #Twitter will exceed the benefits. I'm pretty sure Bluesky would substitute well for the residual value that keeps me glued to Twitter. But the fact that Twitter is such a dumpster fire is why I'm not going to join Bluesky until they install fire exits. I've learned my lesson: you should never, ever, ever join another service unless they've got working #fireExits."
