#NewYearsResolution idea: let’s get off our ‘buts’.

“Yeah, BlueSky is owned by a bunch of CryptoBro venture capitalists, but…”

“Yeah, Substack knowingly platforms Nazis, but..”

“Yeah, Jeff Bezos is an evil twatwaffle who openly support a fascist regime and spends massive resources to send uber-wealthy folks into space for the LOLz, but…”

“Yeah, the US is a full fascist state intent in world domination, but…”

Let’s make 2026 the year we bring these fuckers down by living our values.

@crispius I am afraid that we are not collectively bringing those bad things down because most of us are living by our values, friend.

I think we Mastodonians should all have 1 #NewYearsResolution2026 - to convert at least one person into a Mastodon user. This should include supporting them to make them an active and loyal user. Help them find accounts to follow, finding their personal community, building relationships with followers, etc. It's a grassroots strategy for getting people off of toxic tech bro social media.

@crispius You have no idea how hard it's been to explain to people that I refuse to buy anything on Amazon. When I tell people to search locally for similar items the answer is always 'is too much work '

We're going the path of Wall-E people and almost everyone feels comfortable with it. Is frustrating.

But I've been told time and again that my values are childish, naive, and unsustainable! Unlike whatever-the-fuck-THIS-is. (waves hands kermitically)
