Everything from these big corps have no soul. Because we know it's just about exploiting users for money.
I want the old internet back so bad. Hopefully federation can fuel many new actually fun services that are not built to make money but to actually entertain and amuse people, or simply be useful.
I personally feel pleasure from doing good things in the world. But it seems to be a group of people who doesn't feel it's worth doing something for others unless there is money to be made from it.
No but I'm not going to pay Google for anything. It's obscene to give them even more money.
Google is one of the richest companies in the world.
The PR team got the task to improve his reputation, and they paid newspapers and online sites to write positive things about him.
Nothing new under the sun.
Even a pic where he doesn't look like a lizard. Well done.
Lol 14 dollars for YouTube without ads when you can just run Newpipe. :)
I guess some people react to it and other don't. I'm not trying to be rude either - I just mean that the language that you call "formal" comes off as extreamly disconnected from the community to some of us.
Reddit should be grateful for moderators working for free to moderate their site, and the way they talk to these moderators is absolutely fascinating. I can only assume it comes from living your life around corporate bullshit to the degree that it becomes normal to you.
Normal human decency, friendliness, sense of humor, compassion... Reddit leadership doesn't have these qualities. Corporate bullshit is a term for when you fake these emotions to reach a strategic goal, such as trying to make people work in the same direction even when it's not in their interest to do so.
I think people on Lemmy.world wants every Lemmy user to be on their instance. I have never seen any other instance post so much messages about how people should that instance instead of joining the network.
Centralized will lead to a lot of issues for Lemmy but I guess people need to learn that.
I love this so much. :)
The way they talk to the mods is absolutely infuriating and the "best" part is they they don't even recognize it themselves.
More rude people yes. But it was to be expected. On the plus side, more content also created by people who are not rude and immature. Most are not.
There was an article not long ago about how blocking threads won't make the problem go away. Not sure how to find it again here, I tried searching for it but there are so many articles about Threads so it's hard to find. Either way it made a very good case why blocking won't make a difference.
I think I'm starting to hate "professional".
It literally means playing a corporate role, not being genuine, trying to get connections to make your career take off.
It's not genuine, or warm, or fun... It's just corporate shit. What a world.
