You're right. An even shittier reddit that failed due to extreme greed before? What's the point?
Given Musk's latest remarks, they need to implement an alternative yesterday. I fully expect Starlink to be cut on Monday.
This is the correct answer.
What federation protects from is the singular owner of the platform sweeping in and setting/enforcing new rules for some or all communities. This could still happen on one instance, but new instances can mitigate the effects. Single communities can still turn bad, but it will be up to the users to decide whether to stick around or move to other communities.
OK, so this is where things are now. Wow.
Is this exchange real? Surely this can't be, right?
I never followed any competitive sports, always found them quite boring. Add to it the insane levels of corruption and abuse prevalent in commercial sports and I find it hard to understand how people can even enjoy them.
I just deleted the reddit app today, apparently not a minute too early.
This attitude is exactly the problem. The current situation is new and unprecedented. Not seeing the difference is the type of ignorance that allowed this to happen in the first place.
Das ist wirklich irre, ich muss mich damit unbedingt mal näher auseinandersetzen.
You can't really. It's that moment when you realize you never "owned" the subreddit in the first place, all your work belonged to reddit.
Quite the opposite. Due to systemic corruption autocracies are economically highly inefficient with low productivity across the board with all kinds of long term effects this brings. And while it might look bad for democracies at the moment, I think many of the current crop of autocracies will be short lived. In the end, economy is where it's at, and autocracies are horrible at it.
