Two people sit in the middle of a landfill. One of them says:

"We should leave."

The other responds:

"Think of what will happen to this place if we do."

@nopunincluded oof yeah, I've seen that reaction and it's wild. Stay? With those people? With no moderation?! Bye bye.
@benosteen @nopunincluded If I keep chugging the water from the sewage polluted river, eventually it’ll taste good again, right?

@BeardedRogue @benosteen @nopunincluded

Yes, but they're never going to come after me, are they? So I can sit here safely triggering my dopamine hit, creating free content to feed a monster that will eat everyone else, and none of those deaths will be my fault, right?

@nopunincluded what they always fail to realize is that it will continue to be a dump and why should they subject themselves to that.

@sirideain @nopunincluded I've started to frame it as "this is a mild hostage situation and you're choosing to be the hostage."

More so, because A (a rando user) is choosing to be a hostage, B (who, for whatever reason, depends on a follower base) is this more likely to choose to remain a hostage as well. If B wants out, they need to also encourage everyone else to jump as well.
