Same, I was only donating $2 a month but I’m not alone in finding this completely unacceptable. I applied at lemmy.ml. It’s the scorpion and the frog with these people suggesting we should just wait and see.

“~Let’s see if Zuck doesn’t act like an anti-competitive asshole this time” <–where the hell is the logic in that?!

Or they type fast and have a lot to say /shrug

Agreed about influencers. Meta wouldn’t be doing this at all if they didn’t have a plan (or multiple plans) to monetize it. The whole reason I left Reddit and plan to leave Twitter was that I very much dislike having any part of my online enjoyment at the mercy of the whims of gigantic corporate assholes that think they are far more important than they are. Meta has been an awful and abusive actor in the tech world, why would any freedom-loving person want anything to do with them in a freedom-loving space?! Why would anyone just wait and see what they do this time to decide they’re an awful company with only their profits in mind and no qualms about making those profits at a cost to its users?!

“Break the loop and you break the chains.”

Nobody actually said that to my knowledge but putting quotes around it lends some legitimacy.

I apologize and I wouldn’t want that either lol. That thought is scary and that meeting would end up with them talking about how to hide my body.

It’s not just one behavior, it’s a continuous pattern of behavior. If you want to give them a clean slate in every new instance, that’s your choice. At some point it’s the scorpion and the frog. Whether you consider it an ethical argument or not, it’s basic common sense that Meta’s pattern of behavior will continue absent any evidence to the contrary.

And ad hominem is an argument against a person, not a company. My argument is citing their past behavior which would not be an ad hominem argument even if I’d cited Zuckerberg specifically. “Because Zuck is greedy.” would be ad hominem.

They of course have no interest in growing the fediverse as an independent alternative, they want to use it for their own ends. They want to serve people the fediverse’s free content under its own umbrella and rules to monetize stuff that doesn’t belong to them, or anyone else. It’s all pretty straightforward greed and capitalizing on an opportunity.

What makes ours ethical and their unethical??

Their actual history. Past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior.

You’re right in that the analogy is way off. Here’s the only way it would make it right, is if your new date also wanted to vent about your ex. That’s probably not the case. But being a Reddit refugee is something in common for many people on Lemmy (especially right now) and so it makes perfect sense for people to talk about it.

Also, I don’t give much thought to the posts I scroll past…

Bad analogy, it would be like meeting up with all your ex-girlfriend’s other former partners and all bitching about that shared ex because you have that thing in common.

That’s not why at all. Watch the video @danielton posted below.

6 Catholics overturned Roe too. Catholics only represent 23% of the population and tend to have much stricter views on abortion than Jewish and Hindu folks for instance. Maybe we shouldn’t let 6 people from the same freaking religion decide anything with religious overtones. But if we do, and in the case of abortion…maybe it shouldn’t be the people that think Jesus got magically beamed into Mary’s womb from orbit.

The doomscroll is all there is. The good news about that is that anyone can emulate it.
