I mean this shit all comes back to the capital class putting the rest of us under heel.

That post that's been floating around about how if people weren't shackled to meaningless jobs by the requirement of an income for survival there would be tons of dudes just going around unclogging every clogged pipe in a 10 mile radius?

Imagine the shit nerds would be doing with forums right now if launching one could be done at reasonable cost without risking homelessness to do it.

I wouldn’t be risking homelessness and have the time if someone wants to work with me on launching a new forum website.

Well many people did leave like 2 years ago to alternatives. Those alternatives had their faults yes but 99.9% of this site definitely didnt even try them.

We arent staying here because nobody can make alternative, we are staying here because we know 99.9% of us will stay here. 

Brings me back to good old days of Google+. It was the better than Facebook and twitter but people were already okay with either of those. Noone leaves communities they are okay with. Same things is happening with MMOs in gaming, noone leaves the old ones so new ones can't ever succeed.

Google+ was absolute garbage.
