    Yeah, I read stuff like that a while back before threads, but there was a turning point. Used to be Reddit was the place you’d downvote any post about meta, insta, or any other huge social media to hell. Now tiktok videos are upvoted to the frontpage.

    And Lemmy’s founders may not have views I like, but then again neither does Meta’s founders. At least with Lemmy if their views ever make it into code we can fork off of it

      Funny thing is my comment was about kbin, I just mentioned Lemmy and Mastodon as an interaction, but that is their main talking point anyway, the other ones was “too complicated” and “looks shit” and some more. They clearly don‘t have any understanding of open source or forking, so I didn‘t even bother to explain.

      Also I don‘t even wanna know what ideology spez or Zuckerberg subscribe to, probably something fascist too and TikTok is also owned by tankies basically, anyway no sense in fighting that and I regret I tried, just glad I got this space with all of you to enjoy.

        Steve Huffman (spez) is a well-known, big time doomsday pepper.

        https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/01/30/doomsday-prep-for-the-super-rich

        Some of his quotes in this article are incredibly cringe. For example:

        Huffman has calculated that, in the event of a disaster, he would seek out some form of community: “Being around other people is a good thing. I also have this somewhat egotistical view that I’m a pretty good leader. I will probably be in charge, or at least not a slave, when push comes to shove.”

        Ew

        Not a far leap, based on things he’s said, that he’s an accelerationist who is just itching to put his luxury apartment in a decommissioned missile silo to “good use.” Fuck all of these people.

          The rich are the least useful people in an emergency. Lacking basic skills and not relating to normal people enough to lead a group.

            Right? “Bro, you’re not treated like a leader because you have leadership skills. You’re treated like a leader because you have money and power, which would be largely useless if this political/social/economic system collapsed. Plus, you just made clear that you’re looking forward to a future with slaves. Maybe try therapy?”

          Makes sense, he does seem like he’d have an inflated sense of self-importance and he can see all the eat the rich type of stuff on Reddit.
