  • Didn’t really use it because the scientific and medical misinformation going around on the site was tiring to see. Then Elon Musk bought it and I could see the enshittification coming up. Put up a link to my new Mastodon account, waited like a month and then downloaded my data and deleted my account.

    I’m still on Mastodon. Won’t even look at Bluesky before they show they’re serious about making it decentralised. And even if that happens, I’ll still brace for the potential Google Talk 2: Electric Boogaloo.




  • I think about it along this analogy:

    You ring up your artist friend and would really like to see this specific thing drawn. Your friend gets inspired and is happy to oblige completely for free as they make art for fun. You give them specifications, they send you progress pictures and you tell them how to tweak those WIP pictures until you get the piece you envisioned, drawn by this artist friend of yours.

    Now, who owns the work? The artist, right? You don’t get to claim ownership just because your instructions got that piece done.
