And nobody cares enough to do anything about, not even the consumers. Meta is building a new AI and data facility larger than disney land. They have the money thanks to face book and instagram.
But you tell people, “hey if you care maybe do the simplest thing and quit using those products”, and all you get is push back. Even here on Lemmy. They would rather their lives be worse than take the slightest inconvenience.
Lemmy has, what, like 70k MAUs? If everyone here stopped using these platforms (many of which im sure already use them very minimally) it wouldn’t be a drop in the bucket of big techs user base.
My point was that you would think that Lemmy users of all people would at least be more open to dropping the big platforms. If most of the users here are pushing back, then we really are fucked.
