Lemme see if I got this right:

El Musko is suing because he has to pay for services contracted and rendered?

What has the world come to!

Thanks for the notice and actions taken. Mostly new user here and when I chose this community while it was primarily as a starting point, a big bonus for me was the transparency and minimalism when making decisions. Kinda like a doctor, "don't do more harm than strictly necessary". The fact that you are doing what current tooling allows you to do and are willing to re-evaluate the issue as the tooling improves, all while placing the community first, for me it feels I chose right.

Not taking a stand is an appeal to default, and because of the weight effect Meta will have thanks to money and resources, this will directly translate to letting Meta harm others.

This, and not to mention the science changes.

The color of the skin might be something you are "born as", but as Michael Jackson proved you can certainly change it. Does it mean it is a choice, and not "something that you are"? What happens once CRISPR becomes commonplace?

You start with a false premise:

An example, if there are like 10+ different communities for “technology”, do I really have to subscribe to all of them just to get the same experience I would have gotten on /r/technology?

r/technology was never the only technology subreddit. There was retro, retrotechnology, who knows perhaps something like bambootechnology, cartechnology, etc. So you never had that experience. You had the same experience you would and do have here, except there it was tinted with a veil of capitalism to keep you submissive. What you are seeing now, is the normal, always has been (insert "always has been" meme). The "big pharmas" of the internet are actually the outlier.

As for the task of "clumping" those communities, I'd surmise in the "content fetching" form that would be the task of a community aggregator, like lemmy itself if eventually a "lists" feature is added, or if communities are allowed to follow each other. Or, if we keep the cross-aggregation separate from the content posting, so that it's possible to do both or either witout requiring a super VPS, maybe a webring could do it. I remember webrings from the 90s. They were cool.

Pretty good work. And I know this part doesn't have much to do with programming but I just love that the items are presented kinda like they were Pokémon cards.
