Can we just take a moment to appreciate that Mark Zuckerberg has managed to shit in his own bed so badly in the past few weeks that fediverse image app Pixelfed, made by one person in their spare time, has managed to rise far above Instagram on the App Store?
@gettingcomputey@beige.party@GossiTheDog I also want to take a moment to remember that Threads only looked really popular for a moment because if you already had Instagram, they were shoveling you in that direction as much as they could, and the only people who were all "this is so great!" were people who need to sell you stuff online.
@gettingcomputey @GossiTheDog Well, I do appreciate a space for entrepreneurs. Small businesses actually fuel our economy. In a world of uncertainty in the upcoming economy, it might be wise to have a Plan B.

Whenever extractive capital creates a space for small entrepreneurs it's so they can control it, rent it, and squeeze an ever larger tribute in exchange for increasingly conditional access.
Not sure what the plan B is, but for sure plan A was always extractive capital's plan, not ours.

As a 45-year business journalist, I get coagulated hearing people say "small business is the backbone of our economy." The fact is, big business and small business employ equal numbers and generate taxes equally (it varies from decade to decade), so they are backbone-brothers. Hooray for small biz, hooray for big biz.
@gettingcomputey @GossiTheDog They're doing a lot to herd Instagram users to Threads, too. I find Threads is dominated by "the algorithm" which makes it actually a lot harder to use. Also makes its notifications absolutely useless.
@gettingcomputey @GossiTheDog it's a circle jerk. Threads is like Facebook but as micro blogging
@drsilas @gettingcomputey @GossiTheDog I'm so glad not to be on a Personal Branding platform anymore.
