Spoiler alert, federated networks made up of small-time server owners are extremely vulnerable to both human and AI driven propaganda, dissemination, manipulation etc.

I predict that unfortunately lemmy and the other fediverse networks are doomed. We have maybe a few years at most, then only paywalled serviced will be able to stand up against the onslaught.

Would you be willing to pay like ~$2 dollars a month to avoid this? Or are you expecting solutions for free?

This is a fucking ad.

EAT THE RICH (they’re keto!)

Good answer, anyone who has that level of wealth and hoardes it is despicable IMO.

I’d probably dump most of it into open source or fediverse projects I thought were cool.

I don’t need anywhere near that amount to fund my own existence tbh.

I asked my co-admin once if he thought Capitalism was evil, he’s usually extremely careful with his words. He responded with “it might be”.

It seems to have a lot of real problems, wealth inequality, human exploitation, environmental destruction. I think countries that have a mixed system, where it’s part capitalist and part socialist tend to do better in most metrics. I wouldn’t want to live in a country without socialised medicine, socialised education and pretty strict environmental restrictions.
