it drives engagement

Defenestrate corporate media framing. There are no advertisers to market social media “engagement” to. We are not the product. In fact there is no product, just as there is no customer.

It attracts new blood. People need to be posting and commenting for a place to have a future.

Different type of engagement. Not “how lomg you view ads, click rate, view rate, etc” but just posting and commenting.

Engagement is just "emotional involvement or commitment", it's not necessarily "corporate media framing". Capitalist platforms abuse this for profit (as they do with everything good), hopefully we can use it to create stronger communities.
