What they are saying tho is that people who want to make actual content don't care about monetization. They do it for the love of the game. Sure you can get a few to censor swear words and suicide, but the thing that built it was freedom. If you take away freedom then you've got nothing. Half the equation is people who watch the content. If people don't want to watch your shitty watered down bullshit, and other people don't want to be gagged by censorship, you're going to alienate the base; that is, actually red blooded humanity. Oh, let's say between the creators and the viewers its about 60% of your base. It won't be over night but it will be enough that ther3 will be alternatives to the bullshit. I say bull shit because that's what it is. Fucking goddamn horseshit. Thank you for glistening.

Poor kid 😭

I drink mine, FYI 🤪

Even if you were cannibals, you have to remember I'm coming from reddit! Cannibals are preferential to being at the bottom of that poisonous swamp!

Poor Irish folk. I love the Irish. And while I've plenty of opportunity to watch blazing saddles it just doesn't appeal to me. Is it wrong of me to defend the Irish in light of my ignorance of this humorous show?

Is that why I feel so at home here? Am I a socialist!? Did Lemmy make me a socialist! Oh no, what am I going to tell my mother when sh3 finds out.

But in all seriousness... Tho the text above was not made in jest, Would you consider yourself to be described in that way? A socialist? If not a socialist, how do you find the wherewithal to stick around?

One can be maladjusted and still happy. Jeezy Pete!

Not me. I just get drunk at work and reply to every string of text that I feel like!

Me too! And not a bot! Woohoo!

I'm a new user! Pl3ased to meet you. Still getting used to not having my text autocorrectes to the level of iphon3. It feels more organic 5ho.

I found Lemmy through grapheneos! That's my story. Love it.

If I hadn't smashed my iPhone in a work related accident I would never know the joy of ditching reddit and joining you folks.

Hazzah for happenstance! Life is great!

Its OK Clark. We're here for you!
