Go look again the OP image that spawned this entire conversation.

You're gonna tell me that advertising for homocidal fascist goons, as a business model, is not abusive?

That an enshittifying platform that literally sold out so that a couple owners could extract even MORE money out of everyone around them... thats not abusive?

I'm sorry you have a problem with the word coward, but, I am using it correctly, in applying it to your scenario.

Yeah, all your points abouts about why its difficult to leave are valid, its complex when you go into detail, when you take it case by case.

But when you zoom out, and write a memoir or a summary about it... it boils down to, as I already said, either your values of not using an exploitative platform don't exceed your need for using it, for whatever reason, or, you're afraid of losing social connections or social standing.

People with strong ties to a reddit community and strong values and courage... could become leaders in trying to orchestrate or encourage an exodus or relocation.

Yeah, rocking the boat to get people's attention is harder than pretending it isn't sinking.
