We're so quick to frame crabs as cruel for pulling each other down when they try to escape buckets, yet we too rarely focus on the person who put them in the bucket in the first place.

The same goes for the idea of mantises eating the heads of their mates (apparently an artifact of lab conditions) and of the "alpha wolf" idea (wolves were forced into the company of unfamiliar wolves), among other facets of "common knowledge."

How many assumptions about human behavior follow this pattern?

Seriously, if someone did this with a script they'd be charged with Computer Hacking, but because it's AdTech it'll get a fucking pass.

Fuck this shit.

The best way to get more people to join Mastodon is to stop caring about getting people to join Mastodon, and start focusing on making this place a nice place to be.
