I can’t wait for them to make a vagina next.

Go fash, no cash.
Fukkkin saved.
All part of the plan.
I think a big stumbling block is authentication. I think Web 3 could really revive indie forums if the was integrated properly.
It was give people a single sign on for thousands of forums.
They’re not, American cars are not competitive because US auto makers have relied on financialization and oligopolistic tactics.
America COULD build good affordable cars but that’s way harder than just doing another stock buyback.
I really don’t see how this doesn’t conflict with GDPR.
Not me, I’m a guy and I just travel overseas.
They’re not two different things. They both incentivize the government to subjugate people to enrich themselves and corporations.
This means many innocent people are enslaved or are enslaved for crimes that do not deserve enslavement. That’s why the US has far and away the most prisoners of any country.
Let me ask you something. Is there anything preventing Lemmy devs from selling the code and going private like a gazillion FOSS projects have?
So you think Communism = Non Profit. Please read Capital Vol 1-3 by Karl Marx and not screeds by Lenin.
I’m not an anarchist. But pretty sure “Capitalism but the booj is the government”. Isn’t Communism
Uh the fact that the workers didn’t own the means of production but the state did. Spare me all the philosophical pretzels about how the state WAS the people haha.
Another pedantic tankie argument. Just because something is not being exchanged doesn’t mean it can’t.
Regardless originally I said the network effect had value, not that it was a commodity. And the VALUE cannot be replicated by building another instance. Therefore the users do not own THE VALUE that they produce.
Lemmy is not based Communist principles is what I’m arguing please read. It’s not based on Communist principals because Reddit nor FOSS were which is the architecture Lemmy copied.
I have read Marx, unlike you who’s just learned about Lenin through memes.
The network effect is a commodity. That’s why X and Facebook fight for users and put them in walled gardens.
Their valuations are based engagement. The most powerful and successful capitalist enterprises in history are all social media companies but okay discussion isn’t a commodity. How myopic can you be.
Kind of but not really. They’re state capitalists.
This is such a typical liberal answer. The value isn’t just created by the users’ post but by the collective network effect of all the users being in one place. That is not replicated when a new instance is created. Tankies know this which is why they’re acting like old Reddit mods with retaliatory style moderation.
And Stallman was the person that invented FOSS, and he’s stated over and over he was not following any type of Communist principles. In fact FOSS programmers explicitly retain private property rights of software. It’s how they enforce the share alike clauses. If FOSS was built on some type of Communist principles it wouldn’t allow the bourgeois to build billion dollar enterprises on software they pay the writers nothing for.
It does EL-0-L when the managers do not answer to users who create the actual value. And surprise surprise you have widespread complaints about heavy handed censorship on tankie run instances on anything that hurts their feelings.
No Intel Management Engine though.
