By being here we are already fighting it.
Lemmy has a total userbase of around 60k, unless it's grown since 2 months ago. Even if every single Lemmy user donated $10,000 each to a cause fighting elon musk, their efforts would STILL be less than a rounding error in comparison to his money.
And twitter userbase vs lemmy userbase is equally laughable.
We're here because WE don't approve of corporate bullshit. But make no mistake. Lemmy, nor we, are any threat to stopping musk. Just like Gen X was never a threat to Rupert Murdock in the 90s.
It may piss you off, but thats the reality. 40 years from now, musk will still hold more power than you ever will. He'll continue to make more money in a second than you'll make in a lifetime.
And I'm not defending him. I'm just stating facts. The people will not do anything to stop him. It would take a coordinated effort, from basically every person on the planet to take him down at this point......and that's not happening.
BlueSky has 14 million users and growing. Hoping it's federated as planned soon.
