also worth noting me getting dragged on bluesky started with me trying to come to the defense of Itchio because there's currently a mob that's decided the site is run by transphobic anti-queer fascists because... 3 weeks later they haven't magically fixed everything, found a new payment processor, and re-listed all the games they were forced to delist? I did my best but after I started getting called a nazi I deleted all my skeets and ditched the topic.

I made the comparison to Cohost, I've seen others make the comparison to Cohost... it's just incredibly sad to see queer leftists purity spiral indie platforms to death. Everyone I spoke to acted like they were on a righteous mission to kill Itch for being coerced by MasterCard. Like if Itch went down it wouldn't devastate even more queer creators than have already been hurt.
