I had to update the pic; forgot the biggest culprit -Microsoft. They got slapped with a fine of $731 million. I try not to think about this company at all but I had to fix it. The meme gods had to be appeased.
Also, I remember that Nextflix only bent the knee by agreeing to 30% of their content being local, but really tempted to add 'em.
Hopefully the Next Flex will be Netflix - for the meme-ability. Elon won’t do it, he would have already done. He is just exercising free speech, nothing more. If he does get in the ring, then I’ll join X 😬 & pay his subscription for a year. 👀
No. The goal is very clearly to recreate social media, Twitter and Reddit respectively. That requires a minimal social mass.
Despite best efforts what has been recreated here is a forum with a child porn propagation problem.
Mastodon has been more successful but I believe that bluesky will win out. It’s already more popular and invite only.
…lemmy was only ever intended to be a forum. And the CSAM problem is old news that was already fixed with an automatic black box solution.
The fediverse will not die as long as there is even one person willing and capable of running an instance.
Begone, Elon.
Oh I guess all those social media giants pay teams of people for this out of the kindness of their hearts.
Why on Earth would “social media giants” want to support lemmy? And how is this statement relevant?
