Yes, I agree. My point was left v. Right or anything like that. I was just pointing out that it’s another label I’ve seen thrown out label I’ve seen thrown out there in the last few years when trying to discredit people.

I guess my point didn’t come off they way I meant it looking at all of these replies.

It was a good faith comment, I’m merely pointing out another tactic that the powers that be try to use to discredit people. I’m not comparing pedophilia allegations against being called a far right extremist. I’m just pointing out it’s a separate tactic.

I guess I wasn’t too clear on that, wasn’t expecting these sorts of replies.

Yep, the other go to is calling people right wing extremists.

Fallout 1 and 2. I’ve played them so many times over the decades. FF7 and Baldurs gate 1&2 are others I’ve done a few times.

I like how they don’t mention closing and deleting the sub as an action. It’s all about removing mods. What will they do, install their own mods if the whole team tells them to suck it?

I’m sure most are real, but am curious as to how many bots there are in the amount.

I’m thinking in terms of the future.They’ll have profit incentives to find ways acquire whatever data they can profit from. While they may not be able to do certain things now, companies like this chip away bit by bit in the long term.

With their incentives, resources, and prior behavior, I’m not certain what they can add would be worth whatever the positive result of their profit making activity.

Edits: spelling.

Meta and other big for profit players in social media have a bad history. Privacy, ads, profits at all cost. The people concerned about this early on are basing it off the previous behaviors of these companies.

I feel like it’s a good and early immune response.

Not everyone has strength of conviction he does. Companies look for the weak link, how can they buy off or stroke the ego of.

Adding some T&C’s in as OP suggested could be a good idea. Sure they can ignore it, but it’d be good to put in as many road blocks as possible to prevent the enshitification attacks that will eventually come in the distant future.

Wonder if Google, Apple, or SoC makera are asked or secretly mandated to leave certain backdoors in. I know mobile providers have quite a bit they can see on their end.

It’s a good thing we’re always presented with two choices for everything, like mobile OS’s, to control our choices like we’re toddlers.

Hopefully they leave the free features as is, and don’t starting going down the road many other companies have to squeeze out profit.

Any good android apps for peertube? I see a few search results, not sure which is good

Is this some kind of bot posting this ancient news? Can’t wait until it posts the breaking news of which side won WW2.

I had already stopped buying their products a few years ago because of similar moves. I didn’t write that I would stop buying ar future, not yet launched product based on this specific article.

This kind of thing is why I stopped buying their shit.

I guess I’ve been lucky enough not to be firehosed with it immediately. Guess I’ll come across it more as I subscribe to more communities.

Yeah, I don’t want to see humanity keep on going like this. The profit incentive in some ways can increase the speed at which something develops, but it feels like we’re outgrowing it now that we have so many good communication/collaboration tools.

The profit squeeze on everything feels like it does more harm than good.

That’s an awesome Rube Goldberg machine of a pisser.

Hopefully whoever built that will make a version for the Chinese sperm extractor machine next.

Perhaps the various concensus theories and mechanisms that came out of crypto could somehow give inspiration on ideas to protect this service from the shitty financial actors that come in and ruin all of the good services.

I’m not saying actually using crypto, just maybe some of their concensus mechanisms/ideas for preventing bad actors could be put in place.

“Negativity on my feed is nonexistent.”

Absolute first thing I noticed when I came in to test this as a Reddit alternative. It’s so refreshing, and the discourse is so civil.

If there’s a way we can keep this quality, it’d be amazing. I often wondered when I’m on Reddit or twitter how much of the awful negativity is really people’s or bots/algos prodding them into acting this way.

If the current big players best bets are to weasel in on the large instances, are there any simple changes that could be done to prevent their take over or influence? Things that aren’t too heavy handed?
