Thank god for Lemmy.

Nonviolence can change things. Take the civil rights movement or any union strike. Not to say there wasn’t bloodshed, but violence wasn’t the main driver for change.

It rains bullets in the United States.

Gallowboob basically destroyed the site by popularizing “safe” feel-good subreddits like r/nextfuckinglevel. Then of course, the tumblr diaspora fiasco.

It’s textbook enshittification. Start with a great but unprofitable idea that attracts users, monopolize the market, then debase the service to extract cash from the cornered userbase. We have to show them that we aren’t going to put up with it. Any enshittified service should be immediately boycotted.

Leave and don’t ever look back. Fediverse is growing by the day.

Based salt trucks form anti-fascist blockade.

The less organized and fragmented the populous, the easier it is for the rich to take advantage of us.

Dictatorship. Voting is democracy, and they don’t want you to have it.

Consoom plastic decoration, cattle.

Sure. So according to most adults, humans are somehow perfectly adapted for this very short and specific period of history. And corporations don’t take advantage of that at all.

Half of America, probably less. Of those people, Trump could literally nuke LA and they’d back him up.

OSHA needs to step up… oh wait. This stuff is insanely commonplace. Most workers are not educated enough on carcinogens and reducing risk. Ironically it’s people that work around radiation that tend to be the safest. But when it comes to hazardous chemical exposure, safety is brushed aside. Benzene, acid mists, chromium dusts, all have popped up in recent OSHA reports.

Just instance hop bruv, you cannot be banned or censored from Lemmy.

Enshittification.

It’s insane that there isn’t more pushback against this. Like karma wasn’t enough, they needed to add a hidden gestapo system to degrade user experience even more.

As they should.

True, but the difference in the moderation suite is immense. Reddit makes it laughably easy to ban and black hole users with a single button press. Some users are banned preemptively by auto mod rules and subreddit settings. I believe there are more banned users than active users on most large subreddits.

Honestly the biggest problem is that people don’t fight unfair moderation in the first place. Mods should be shamed for these practices and if they engage in them, every tool at our disposal should be used to annoy them into quitting moderation altogether.
