I don’t think portraying the execs as just dumb and the general public as mega brains is accurate…
The execs want to strip out value as profit and take actions to maximise this, they don’t care if it fundamentally tanks the business because as long as they make a profit overall they can just drop the husk that’s left at the end and move onto another business they can bleed dry.
It’s ok. You go when you’re ready!
The unwashed masses (like myself) will eventually change Lemmy. I don’t think it will ruin it completely because the best part about having hundreds of millions of lemmings is the niche communities.
The main instances and communities are going to get shot to hell though. I’ve accepted that.
I’ve just had premonitions of cars crashing into each other in car parks when the ‘self parking’ mode is hacked…
The amount of people with ASD on Lemmy is high.
Pointing that out doesn’t go down well though…
It’s 2024, IDGAF if you are on the spectrum I just want to know so I can better interpret your comment.
This has to be stopped. Just look at what Napster did to the music industry. That’s right, there used to be a music industry and now it’s just…gone. No more music, no more money to be made in music. Don’t let these evil streaming services do the same to poor defenceless Hollywood, bastion of women’s rights!
Shell, BP, Exxon Mobil, Raytheon, Boeing, Rio Tinto, BHP, Nestle.
Nope Apple is the worst.
Sometimes Lemmy has way too much of a bias towards tech for its own good…
Dark wing duck!
Vacuums there really are only two BIFL brands.
Miele or Sebo.
I usually assume they are a piss drinker.
Somebody call a Bondulance
It’s generous to call influencers human.
Fido the zombie movie?
Make sure you get me a head coffin.
The H in H2O stands for homosexual, it’s true, look it up.
He said ‘lots of men’ not all.
Two words.
Fully automatic gay space communism.
It was his video on IQ tests that set off alarm bells for me.
IQ tests are not some method of determining intelligence they are very much linked to relative education/socioeconomic standing. His complete lack of criticism and neutral/positive support of IQ tests make me think he likes the result of his score…
Good riddance.
One less fascist masquerading as a public servant.
Depends how generous or cynically you apply ‘bad faith’.
I’ve never experienced it on Lemmy but then again I don’t usually entertain people who, to me, obviously have little understanding of the topic at hand.
When it’s something I have little knowledge about I tend to lurk if I can or I’ll be more easily swayed one way or the other. If I care enough I go do my own research.
I’ve read it.
Orwell was socialist my dude.
Ever read one of his other books Down and Out in Paris and London?
It helps explain why he is a socialist.
