very weird watching reddit born drama come to the big screen

3 of the top 4 results for me are fediverse related when searching for "lemmy".

I don't think its the signing up, its the lack of centralization/community. reddit was a singularity, the community is protesting en-masse because they felt they were all part of the same thing.

to me, the fediverse is a segmented.. oddly connected group of overlapping communities. it lacks cohesion.

i remember the 'sub'reddit announcement!

it feels like with the distributed nature of this system, i have better chance to be technically involved. im on attempt 3 of my own instance of kbin... feels exciting again for first time in a decade

i have somehow avoided every really using youtube. kinda glad as it seems to be circling some kind of profit-driven drain.

seems like VCs are contracting industry wide.. but i dont think a lot of companies have a real exit strategy (to profitability) other than "put the screws to our client base"

im confused why people a. think spez had enough control to make these decisions. b. that killing the 3rd party apps wasnt the point.

almost zero notice, exorbitant costs for stripped access...

there was never going to be a compromise. 'they' want to wall their garden, and thats all she wrote

wont someone think of the chil...community!

this is obvious cover... a bot-generated paper trail for when they 'are forced to act on behalf of the community'
