Yes. I’m more middle-left, but this place seems to be going a bit far towards anti-capitalist socialism and anarchy. Capitalism isn’t the problem, greed is. That can be fixed with restrictions on what corporations can get away with - not ad hominems against the founders and CEOs.
Edit: 3 months of capitalist bullcrap later, I’m a socialist now…
That said, fuck Spez. That was an executive decision made solely by him.
Also, far anti-corporateism should probably be expected in a community that consists solely of people (mostly geeks) ‘on strike’ because a big company ruined their old platform…

The problem is that capital can and does react to this. Companies will bribe and lobby until they can erode whatever meager guardrails you managed to install, and in the meantime they’ll carefully calculate how much they can break the law before the consequences outweigh the benefits.
As long as capital is the main driver of politics this will keep happening. “Take money out of politics” doesn’t work, either, because capital will erode or evade those laws, too. You do have to look at moving on from capitalism if you want anything more than a small, temporary change.
For reference for others, they do seem to be getting mass-downvoted on all their recent comments in their post history with plenty being pretty benign:
And, not open source, but if you want to support the creators (and artists) you like, buy merch. YouTube doesn’t get a cut of the merch sales to my knowledge.
What the fuck did you just say about Sync for Lemmy, you little casual? I’ll have you know it’s not FOSS, and it has options for paying for a subscription!
I’ve been trained in open-source warfare and have over 300 confirmed commits on GitHub. You think your proprietary software can stand a chance against the might of the FOSS community? Think again, scrub.
While you were wasting time on paid subscriptions, we studied the art of collaboration and freedom. We know every line of code in the Linux kernel and can fork repositories with pinpoint accuracy. Your closed-source tactics won’t work here.
You call it a “premium feature”? Ha! We see through your money-grubbing schemes. In the realm of open-source, the true premium is transparency and accessibility for all.
So, take your subscription nonsense and run back to your proprietary lair. The FOSS community will continue to thrive and grow, empowering users worldwide with the power of choice and knowledge.
Recursion is a noun denoting a situation that is recursive… so both work, especially considering the subjects of the meme are aware of their existence in a meme.
I have a close friend who’s dad very suddenly passed away within the past 2 months and was cremated. I shared this with them on chat. They laughed. I’m still alive…for now.
