things like this, especially right now, are what will limit the appeal of lemmy and the fediverse in general sadly. People no longer have access to communities they like randomly due to the decision of one person at the top… almost like why people were trying to leave reddit in the first place

100%, they are really shooting themselves in the foot by defederating

yeah, was starting to like it here, but honestly if any instance will just defederate the second something inconvenient happens… we won’t have a site with good content that will keep people around

the libertarian party yes, because they literally took over the us national party

the actual ideology, no

You haven’t?

Sadly no, show me a political party that the us, china or India could realistically vote for that would substantially reduce emissions in the next 10 years

100%, I was mad about the api changes but realistically I would have stayed

But seeing the interviews he gave was just too much. Especially when he was talking about monetizing people who say things on Reddit they wouldn’t say to their therapist. Like, that group specifically you want to milk? Fuck spez

Paywalled but he talks about the value of the data on Reddit for ai training, basically that he wants to get the money from people saying stuff they’d only say in therapy otherwise

Dude is a creep

You think Biden can unilaterally lower housing prices in two years??

yeah, it’s some pretty serious copium to think reddit was massively affected by the protests. Sadly, they were not

but all I can do is leave and enjoy lemmy so fuck em
