      Uh…the “badge of honor” would have been quitting back during api-gate and not looking back. Getting banned now just means one participated after that time, providing spez with traffic and value, and helped normalize the behaviour that is only just now a bridge too far.

      Today, a ban is the “conciliatory prize of not thinking ahead”.

        3rd party apps closing down I can see from a business point. Makes good business sense. Keep everyone on your shitty app and monetize it. I wasn’t for it but understood the greedy fucks behind it.

        Now it’s just different. Banned for going against Nazis, just means they are in bed with Nazis. That’s the last straw.

          Not understanding how greed and control are different manifestations of fascism is still on you. Corporations always align with fascists because a corporation is essentially a small kingdom where a handful of Lords make all the decisions for the peasants (workers/consumers).

          Plenty of us saw where this was headed because of the API drama.
