I go back to the classic, Hirschman's Exit, Voice, and Loyalty. While things can reach a point where Exit is the only viable option (as I found with that social media site that changed its name), for now, here, for reasons you share, I'm going to stick with Voice and Loyalty for now. My page is not monetized, I have a good day job, and so I don't face the very difficult position of those earning their living on here. But it has so much potential to be a good place, to be better.

Hirschman has been much on my mind. Voice seems to have not worked, at least so far, but I do wonder if the development of exit options will. But the moat is also much deeper than it looks, and as always people are very eager to make a moral stand at the cost of others (albeit in this case without potentially understanding the costs to others).
