Is it just me? Ever since Mike Masnick went all-in on Bluesky, I just have no desire whatsoever to read anything at (or from) Techdirt.
It's like, Bluesky is obviously in its "gateway drug" period, but you can already see the enshittification coming (and bits are here, with them welcoming fascism and silencing dissent), and Masnick still cheerleading for it being good and proper and wholesome and just what the 'net needs just fills me with rage.
He's supposed to have more sense than that.

Be careful! That's how it starts.
I switched from OS X to Pop!_OS, but that was just the beginning. Pretty soon, I'd made my way on to #arch. These days, I'm running a lot of #suckless tools, including #dwm, #dmenu, and #st—and I don't even *have* a display manager. Now, heaven help me, I'm even considering installing #gentoo or #void.
