Funny, that’s the example I always use, too. I watch whatever I want, when I want, for absolutely free except the cost of a VPN and the one-time purchase of a home server, thanks to plex and bittorrent. I can’t code, I don’t know what a secure socket layer is, I can just follow directions.And it’s depressing that people pay for these things basically because they abhor the idea of learning anything that takes a little patience.

Changing the word every other day in an endless game of whack-a-mole vs. signing up once on a new website?All of us here know which is easier in the long run.

It’s not a matter of purity policing. Its a matter of hearing people repeatedly whine about censorship, and having offered to them perhaps the most censorship-resistant network in the world, only to be told “oh noes my influencers arent there and why doesnt it follow ppl for me its too much work, censorship ok.”The reason we keep insisting on the fediverse is because it solves the problem, directly. What more can we do?

I used to roll my eyes at people who complain about therapists . . . until finding out on my own that I have CPTSD, three years after ending a five year stint of almost weekly sessions. Despite knowing all my thoughts and secrets, he never figured out, or at least never told me that my behavior had a name and a path to recovery. I could be almost a decade deeper into recovery if this guy had done the bare mimimum of psychoeducation.
