You make a good point.

Or, if you decide you MUST use corporate social media, put it behind a secure web browser and isolate your use to only social media.

I can't be sure it works 100%. I can just hope Brave and Google have competing interests for me.

But best to stop patronizing those platforms as best you can.

What if anything do you do to try to mitigate it?

The first, and also the most futuristic techno-utopian one, is the colonisation of Mars. Elon Musk founded Space X in 2002 (Peter Thiel was the first outside investor) with the idea of re-founding humanity. It’s all there: the call to save humanity by turning it into a multi-planetary species, the desire to start from scratch without the legal constraints of Earth, and the will to break with the established order. As you can read, half-hidden, on the terms and conditions page of the Starlink service owned by Space X:

The parties recognize Mars as a free planet and that no Earth-based government has authority or sovereignty over Martian activities.

You make a really good point here. However, is that same anti-indexed nature a boon in the era of Ai site scraping.

It definitely let people create insulated pockets. Is there a chat app that doesn't do that? Telegram?

Discord was talking about going public, probably changing their profit incentives. My group and I were talking about setting up a Rocket Chat if that happened. But it has to have IRC compatibility, right? Can IRC provide real-time audio communications? Discord is a failover when in-game communication isn't working for some reason.

I keep an eye for engaging content on reddit and just rip it here. Mastodon and I think even BlueSky ran on repost bots in the early days. People have to find stuff here first.

I think, though, I stuck a Leminal Space link in my bio or upvoted a Luigi and got banned. So, not sure if you can directly link to Leminal over there or not.

This is unironically on reddit right now. People lamenting a place like Lemmy doesn't exist.

I'm less worried about Discord, honestly.

I've been pretty happy with it as my casual web search browser, putting all my social media on a different browser. And it's in F-Droid, so that always feels good.

I'm being told Winnie the Pooh references are racist? Is there confusion that the identification is the yellow skin rather than the facial expression? I'm almost certain that meme is talking about how his face looks like Winnie the Pooh, right?

That's actually a fair point. I've seen it in the UI but I'm not sure exactly how it works, but it seems like there's communities to moderate and curate and you can simply enable them to moderate your feed, if I'm understanding it right. If so, it sounds like a really good way to compartmentalize that stuff to allow users to sort it themselves.
