Reddit and Twitter are multimillion dollar enterprises

I’m just some fool who rents a little virtual server so I can help people use the fediverse

I mean I’m not even an IT guy by trade (just by hobby) - I’m a truck driver.

It isn’t double standards, it’s patience for a fledgling replacement platform that seeks to free you from being a commodity to be exploited and sold, and lack of patience for the established, exclusively profit hungry platforms that continue to make your experience worse and disrespect you, solely to squeeze a few extra pennies out of you to meet insatiable, unquenchable growth/metastasis expectations.

It’s the difference between yelling at a professional pickpocket trying to rob you and a kid who is screwing up trying to help you. Resources matter, but more importantly, motivations matter.
