  • What injustice? Reddit is “their” website and they can do what they want with it, we have always only been allowed to use it for their enrichment. The farmer is always very nice to his animals until its time to cash out.

    Lemmy is hopefully the fix, in that it doesnt need to turn a profit, and we’re not locked in.

    As the child of immigrants, I can tell you that running off and living your life is absolutely a viable strategy, and I’ve spent my whole life trying to underssand what happened so that the same thing doesn’t happen to my family again.

    All that said, it is a website. The planet is broiling around us and the people responsible are not just free, but living like kings.




  • I’m new here, and I dont have a very developed opinion about this, but my gut says that Meta is going to try to absorb (embrace, extend, extinguish) the fediverse.

    I’ve seen a lot of good reasons to do that, but I think that it might just be to get at the software. It seems silly that they would do that given that it’s free, but also they would be destroying a competitor at the same time, and really I’ve been working long enough that it wouldn’t surprise me.

    Anyway, i think that maybe democracy would be a great way to decide a question like this, and it would also be interesting to figure out how to set that up in a way that the people asking the question can know whether someone is trying to cheat.
