Everyone gives Meta and Twitter flack for the hellscape that is social media.

But you know who else deserves flack? Google.

They killed RSS so that everyone would use Google+ for news. Instead, everyone used Facebook and Twiter.

@atomicpoet when Facebook, Twitter and Google chose to stop paying for legitmate news, fake news and cyberwar proliferated. Their extreme greed caused monumental harm that continues to far outweigh any good. Grateful to #mastodon for this go at social media decency.
