I'm not sure there's an easy answer, but here's how I am approaching it: 1) Makes sense to keep having real & meaningful conversations in spaces where people are 2) Also makes sense to find/build alternatives to billionaire owned (or capture-able) spaces e.g. bluesky, pixelfed, and mastodon, as well as closely held and moderated communities, like this one 3) It's hard to assess when to ditch a platform, and that decision varies for people based on a lot of factors...that said, when a platform is overrun by fake profiles, scammers/spammers, and AI-generated content, it's unlikely to be a place where meaningful and real conversations take place... On that last thing, we do have an example in Twitter/X, which is a horrid user/customer experience, even before you add in the hate speech, uplift of neo-nazi and white nationalist ideologies, and encouragement of organized violence...that process seems likely destined to replicate on Meta/Facebook/Instagram and TikTok over time, as they adjust their policies and favor the new administration. If #3 lands with you, I think the focus is more about transitioning how you invest time/money/energy. Sam Chavez from Roots of Change and I were just talking about that yesterday, and ultimately becoming less reliant on billionaire owned platforms even if you don't abandon them, is preparation for and an opportunity to reinforce/rely on community.
