What’s the opposite of “user-first”?
Shareholder-first.
Sadly that is so much of society these days :(
Oh no, for god's sake, not another one of those shovelware chat platforms...
my thoughts on revolt: it’s not decentralized so i don’t care

every company was cool and user-first before it became evil

only way for it to not become evil is for it to be decentralized

This makes zero sense. The backend and many components are AGPL or GPL licensed. You want ActivityPub, go implement it yourself.

The main use case is hosting your own instance for your group of friends/etc, which seems pretty decentralized to me.

yeah and this was the case with reddit until they went closed-source and everyone just stayed on the main instance
When I've seen people speak to the devs, they've always seemed very hostile to hosting your own instance of the program. Beyond that, the setup process is one of the worst documented and admin hostile I've seen so far.
