Counterpoint: Facebook was never enshittified because it was always shit.

It’s not LLMs — see the peak at 2013. They aggressively started closing any “duplicate” questions around then. The whole premise was that experts were supposed to answer questions for clout that would bolster their resume, but after getting silenced a few times, why would they come back? And anyone with the temerity to ask a question that was asked (with or without a good answer, ten years ago) would also never come back after getting shut down.

They couldn’t decide if they were a forum or Wikipedia and became neither.

I can’t believe Putin would lie.

The US can’t default on its debt. It’s unconstitutional, and the dollar is a fiat currency, so there’s no reason it would ever have to.

Because every bike is a car off the road. Every car off the road is a car out of your way.

Or a mitigation against the climate apocalypse, take your pick.

I should get that diagnosis. 😐

He tells it like it is.

He didn’t mean that.

Jesus.

Ein volk in particular.

Elon is the #1 illegal immigrant that needs to be deported.

Weird how racism and Elon keep appearing in the same sentence.

Health insurance isn’t health care. It’s a swindle literally concocted by the Heritage Institution to shovel government money to private insurers in exchange for crap insurance. Yes, Project 2025 Heritage Institute.

What a bright, shining example of progress.

Do you get it yet? Democrats are doing republicans’ work for them and holding their hands out to billionaires.

Thanedar’s effort had angered not only Republicans, but also Democratic leaders, who said they would work with Republicans to kill his bill.

Thanedar said he was holding off on his bill, claiming he wanted to add to his impeachment articles to include Trump’s plans to accept a Boeing 747 from Qatar as a gift.

Democrats working with republicans to kill Trump’s impeachment. Dontcha love bipartisanship? ❤️💕

I’m advocating for basic things people need to survive (not for myself) and you’re treating it like I want a pony.

Oh, and what an excellent example. Newsom and other corpo dems are abandoning the trans cause to (try to) woo centrists. Progressives aren’t.

What planet do you live on?

“Concessions to people like me”:

1. Public transport
2. public education
3. public healthcare

I’m not in dire need of any of those. But I’m not a selfish dickhead.

I voted for Harris. Look what good it did.

Decade after decade of failure. But don’t examine yourself for a second.

You don’t get it. YOU’RE letting the fascists win.

Progressive policies are broadly popular. Corporate democrats are less popular than the least popular president in American history.

Oh, okay, you win. Voting blue no matter who is obviously the path to a progressive utopia.

How? We’ve voted blue no matter who for decades and look where it got us.

Maybe democrats should do something to earn our votes.
