It’s his site. He will always win. Fuck him and greedy capitalists fucks like him.
PS: Enjoy Lemmy
Wasn’t lemmy created by tankies? Avoided it for kbin (I’m aware of the federation) due to this.
And Reddit has been backed by Tencent - CCP supporters by default - and Peter Thiel - a white supremacists and actual, literal fascist.
The politics of the people behind for-profit endeavours that the public has no actual control over regardless of stake seemingly never comes up. The politics of people behind things that challenge for-profit endeavours and gives control of things back to the public is often under the microscope.
We don’t know ernest’s politics. What if it came out tomorrow that he was an anarchist? Or that he was also a Leninist? Or was a white supremacist? Or that he liked Nickelback?
I’ll see past many things, but Nickelback?
Not even once.
Lemmy the software vs lemmy.ml the server.
It hasn’t been his site since 2006, that’s when u/spez & Ohanian sold reddit to Conde Nast. rn, u/spez is only an employee in reddit.
Feels like Spez won’t be taking this one to the chin. Let’s just see how deep the ship will sink with its captain.
I don’t think the ship is doomed yet but they’re definitely in ‘what is that ominous noise coming from the bilge’ territory. To carry on the analogy they’ll plug the leaks as best they can and try and make it to the safe harbour of the IPO (where she can sink at her mooring for all Spez cares) which they could still well do, but it’s also likely the captain and his officers being half-baked sons of lubberly farts will smash into several reefs on the way and sink their already damaged vessel.
