Time and time again we relearn the lesson that private, for profit entities like Reddit and Twitter will always screw over their communities without a second thought.
Mastodon or Discourse might be more expensive or technical to run the way your community would like, but they can never pull the rug out from underneath you.
Your politicians call abortion murder but then pay for their mistresses' abortions.
You slander gay and trans people as groomers but refuse to hold the real groomers in your own party accountable.
Pharisees.
You have heard the shrieks of children dying in their classrooms yet make it easier for killers to get guns.
You claim to love Jesus, an immigrant, but pass hateful laws against immigrants.

I feel like I need an answer to this mystery. #engineering
