@rom Don’t forget Digg - they came back (and then went away again due to a bot onslaught).

@manton To be fair, when I started blogging it included buying a server & colocating it at my ISP, hand-crafting HTML, and selling ads to pay for it all. I am IMMENSELY glad to no longer be dealing with any of that! (So thanks again for keeping micro.blog easy & affordable).

@mitch I wish I had a more optimistic view. I suspect the oligarchs assume they can continue to find ways to buy off enough of the oppressed class to stay in power (janissaries, anyone?).

@mitch I’m fairly sure this doesn’t get resolved short of punitive wealth taxes or guillotines. It’s all been a downward spiral at least since the “greed is good” days of early LBOs.
(And as someone who clawed his way into reasonably upper-middle-class status, I’d be glad to have much of my wealth redistributed provided that it was across the board. Musk, Bezos, et al should be forced to live on the average income in this country, just like everyone else).
