Why YSK: If we want to keep the Fediverse in the hands of its users and prevent “enshittification” (search it), it’s good to know how corporations kill grassroots projects like this.
I saw this in another thread on /c/Showerthoughts. I think it’s important for this to be circulated widely so that the broader Fediverse community is aligned. We don’t want admins second-guessing their decisions when users start infighting. We should be united in our thinking and ready to protect our platform.
I don’t see how anyone can be pro corporate at this point on the time line short of being a major shareholder or executive. As worker, consumer, and taxpayer, I am so fucking tired of their corruption and crimes. Nothing left to do but vote with your feet and money, since political process is captured. Maybe third-party vote as no confidence vote in the regime.
I think most people in theory are against big corporations, but when it comes down to it they just go ‘it is what it is’ and just accept the big corps without any attempts to break off that path.
My wife is like that and I think it has more to do with not being very tech savvy/or willingness to try something different.
I’m really glad people are starting to notice their crimes. Only a year ago it felt like I would only see comments like this in anti-capitalist communities.
