Cannibal take seems accurate, kinda how it feels looking in too. Not glad about any of these people in charge, but at least they hurt each other right now.

Most certainly if this grows big enough corporations will join in if only to market whatever products to the userbase.

What you can do is to work on supporting/curating instances which don‘t want this. Try to see what kind of people are in charge and what their reaction would be. For example I‘m also on an instance (http://lemmy.dbzer0.com/) created by a r/piracy mod who I‘m fairly certain wouldn‘t federate with corporations or let his instance be controlled by them.

Lemmy.ml which I‘m also on, probably not positive with US companies, but might federate with Chinese companies.

What makes all this not a big concern for me is how easy it is for me to drop an instance and go to another one, but I‘m also not attached to my users in general, hopefully we can get some export/import functions for cases where we need to abandon somewhere (unless it exists and I haven‘t seen it yet?).

I‘m not even his target audience (I‘m further left), but I‘ve seen some clips of his show and he‘s funny, would be neat to have a sort of "Downfall of Corporate Social Media" episode featuring spez. I‘d watch that.

All lies, they‘ve straight up been removing mods like they want to cleanse them from the website and forcibly reopen their subs, NO voting on it! It‘s "reopen of gtfo", that‘s the message they are sending.

This moral appeal to democracy is transparent and laughable, they must think Redditors are completely brainless to swallow that turd, and maybe he is right seeing those who cheer for this.

I love you for explaining this so clearly, I was actually so confused about this I may or may not have misinformed someone else, oops.

Good to have you, I think you made a good decision. We‘re early adopters of a technology that can make all of these social media kingdoms obsolete and I’m excited to be here for it!

Spez also apparently called the mods "landed gentry" which is hilarious coming from a rich fuck behaving like a king towards some people who work for him for free!

From my POV all we need to do is post and comment and create good communities. The people will come naturally if we do that.

Pathetic. How anyone can deal or invest with "businessmen" like Trump and Musk who mainly grift, steal, lie and don‘t even pay their debts—no clue!

So glad we have Lemmy now to talk about this stuff!

I found it on Reddit and seen it around, it‘s spreading. Might write some comments myself too, as long as I still have Apollo to do so; so far I am liking it here.

When will companies finally understand that some people won‘t watch ads no matter what tricks they employ. I‘d rather watch no video at all than a single ad. If that is their goal, fine.
