There needs to be an exodus from those corporate platforms since they collect way too much data.

Tbf the program wants to collect all open web data, which wouldn’t surprise me if it eventually included fediverse stuff (if it doesn’t already).

But yes also fuck corpo socials/platforms. Deny them engagement and the blood money they squeeze from our captive attentions.
