When asked by The Associated Press about athletes turning to OnlyFans, IOC spokesman Mark Adams said, “I would assume that athletes, like all citizens, are allowed to do what they can.”
Fark you. (Channeling Joe Pesci): "You only HAVE those billions in ticket sales, sponsorships and TV rights because the athletes make that possible!"
Reddit is (was) a social network with tens of thousands of communities and only ONE instance. That makes it easy for a small number of arrogant, greedy billionaires to ruin things for everyone.
Lemmy doesn't make that mistake. By being decentralized, it prevents exactly that sort of thing from happening.
I've already started moving over to lemmy but I'm also seeing some weird stuff on my Reddit account. I've had more 'Followers' sign on to my account in the last 2 weeks than I've seen in the last 3-4 years. I don't believe these are real followers. What would be the reason for this? Is Reddit playing some sort of statistics game with long-time Reddit accounts?
This. The actual job of cops is to protect rich b*stards and their stuff from ordinary taxpayers. And making us pay for our own abuse with our own tax dollars.
If that goes away, they'll just hire mercenaries, instead. They won't give up that protection.
