I’m real tired of hearing about Lemmy and Reddit. I just want the other content that I used to consume here. I’m getting pretty tired of hearing how bad Reddit is doing.
It’s like someone coming out of an abusive relationship. Every other sentence is about the awful things they did, how good it is to be away, and did you hear about xyz thing they did.
You can subscribe to subs that don’t talk about it and unsubscribe from the ones that do.
There will be a lot of growing pains as communities take time to migrate over, discuss the drama, have new communities created, seeing over time which ones are moderated in ways you enjoy.
Tldr: take it easy, you and the communities will sort themselves out in time.
Capitalism drives dependance tho. Not a socialist but capitalism is terrible as well. Lemmy is created by free software and open source software enthusiasts. This means that code is public, its for everyone, and anyone can use it woth or without modification.
So much this. Capitalism does not provide innovative solutions. Capitalism is the idea that there is only one, universal solution to any problem: throw money at it. The fundamental objective of capitalism is to invent new and innovative problems to fit that universal solution.
One of the devs has a guide on how to get into communism and which books to read on their GitHub. People think lemmy is communistic because the devs are.
People have very different opinions. The free software dev communities consist of many weird people as well. Many autistic ones, having other mental issues, and some sane people. But in the end all that matters is the software that they create. They are open and visible. Thoose people can’t be corrupt like the proprietary corporations(facebook, google, reddit) as the anyone can see what the software exactly does. If the software does the job without tracking or doing malicious attempts on you like facebook or google, then its really good
A robust and non-ideological non-profit sector is key to any form of healthy capitalist system. That should be an agreeable statement to anyone regardless of if they like or hate capitalism.
There are two main reasons that evangelicals oppose government social services. One: Communism bad (well, “socialism bad” now because they have to poison the well against European democracies now that USSR is gone). Two: If the government helps people, people will be less likely to seek help from evangelical organizations, which eliminates a huge way to market Supply Side Jesus to people. Eating in to evangelicals’ ability to proselytize compellingly is therefore a non-starter.
You know people can have strong ideals and still have the humanity to help people who may disagree with them? Not everything is run by political ideology.
Lemmy is so far left leaning because a large part of its existence is due to people being mad at capitalism
And its so tiring to hear about all the time
Edit: and I don’t disagree
I agree with it, but I also agree with you
“I disagree with the bad thing, but I wish the people affected by the bad thing wouldn’t complain about it so much!”

It’s exhausting.

Capitalism doesn’t tire!

I thought only capitalism drives innovation?
Strangely enough, many people do things for other reasons than money. :)
👀 eyeballs the Entire Free / Open source software culture
You’re telling me every technological innovation before 1750~ wasn’t done purely for the sake of profits and shareholders?!? HOW WAS THAT ALLOWED!?
Name 3.
Altruism, personal fulfillment, drugs
I read Altruism as Autism, and honestly I think it should be added to the list.
Name 845.
Well, let’s subdivide drugs then and start with the table of contents of PIHKAL and TIHKAL.
it does, in the fields of exploitation sciences, also known as orthodox micro economics
Freedom and personal liberty drives innovation more than anything else.

Some people think this is communism

I mean the lead dev. Dessaline
community property is a feature of socialism.
Community property is also a feature of capitalism (the form of it in the USA).
Police stations, public parks, classified documents, national/state parks and conservation areas are examples.
I think ‘community property’ is a byproduct of having a functional community.
Nah those are socialist features within capitalism and are all under assault from the neolib privateers.
more like a prerequisite

It can be both. You cannot argue that Lemmy is devoid of echo chambers.
You know people can have strong ideals and still have the humanity to help people who may disagree with them? Not everything is run by political ideology.
That’s not how it started, Lemmy started way back from r/redditalternatives with Ellen Pao fiasco.
