Hopefully, we can see cross-service APIs and federation become common. Having Matrix, Lemmy, Mastodon, and other platforms being able to talk with each other would be terrific. Especially if we can import/export our profiles at will, to migrate across services if we want to experiment or escape an enshitffied place.

Power only respects power. Always has been that way.

It sucks that many projects that I am interested in, such as Touhoumon Puppet Dance Encore and assorted hentai projects that are on the platform. For now, I put up with it - but I am very much hoping alternatives are adopted by creators.

Personally, I associate stoats with Dwarf Fortress. And much butchering thereof.

I will use AI image generation, such as “Thispersondoesnotexist”. They can have an imaginary face for their data brokers.

I fully expect Google to comply. Thankfully, the only service of theirs that I use is Youtube.

If a civil war happens, I think a side effect is that Google’s domination over video platforms would be over. People would end up flocking towards the ones that aren’t in service to the Regime.
