    Meta makes money by driving engagement and then monitizing via ads or user data sale for others to target ads.

    Then don’t use the official instance, ads or tracking won’t affect you if you’re using threads from a kbin instance for e.g.

    Remove corporations from social networks.

    i don’t think that’s fair, not all corporations are evil, besides non-profits exist like signal/mozilla.

      It’s poisoning the well though, even if I don’t see the ads. Also they will prioritize inflammatory content to drive engagement, which would affect other instances as well (you know, like they do for all their other apps/platforms).

      And corporations are not good or bad, but the for profit ones… are for profit. And I’m sorry but there is no justification for a profit motive in social media.
