My thoughts exactly. It’s all devolved into savage economic darwinism. Giant corps won’t stop until they own literally everything, and even then, it likely won’t be enough. It truly is a cancer on society. It’s not like I want to abolish capitalism, I’m no tankie, but when does the greed stop? There’s a reasonable limit somewhere, but apparently in the minds of the corporate overlords:

The insane greed is something I simply can’t comprehend. Isn’t there a point at which it’s enough? It seems almost like a mental illness. Indefinite growth and infinitely increasing profit margins aren’t possible. There’s a limit to value and possible revenue. I don’t know where all of this is going, but it can’t be anywhere good, and I’m sure it will be violent. I seem to be in the minority, but I absolutely believe there is a point where a person has enough wealth and doesn’t, perhaps even shouldn’t, have more.
I’m not an economist, but what is the endgame here? Eventually, in their ideal delusions, every household has their own subscription. How do they intend to fuel growth then? Just more price increases? I don’t understand this extreme capitalism. Can’t a business just be happy to be profitable? Why do they focus so much on indefinite growth like some kind of tumor?
I did. I’m disappointed, but not surprised that it worked. I have no problems dropping Disney, too. The open sea is vast.
I think I could count the number of porn posts I’ve seen in the last month on one hand. Where do they claim all of it is coming from? I wouldn’t mind more porn tbh.
New Reddit isn’t gonna tolerate a sub dedicated to content piracy with an IPO in mind. That ship is sinking if not sunk already. If you don’t like it here, I’m sure there are other places on the internet for discussion.
Same. I won’t let go of Reddit completely until more of the people in my favorite subs migrate and rebuild their communities here, if they do so at all. But Lemmy and Mastodon will become my new main social hubs either way.
I like lemmings. It’s hilariously ironic considering we want to try and get away from hiveminds (at least as much as is possible on any social platform).
I would pay a reasonable amount to use Reddit if their true issue is not being profitable enough. If they lowered the API access fees to a reasonable figure, I would pay for a third party app. I would also pay for Reddit itself if it continued to allow third party access to the API like they have been. Maybe I’m in the minority, but if the argument is “if it’s free, then you’re the product” then I would, as dystopian as it sounds, pay for Reddit.
Reddit has answered almost every question I’ve ever had for years. The potential loss of all the knowledge is my greatest concern.
It does, but it’s so small and fragmented at the moment. Hopefully it grows, but I worry the learning curve might be too steep for some.
Yeah same. I have no real love for Reddit itself, but it has so many subreddits dedicates to very specific interests. They’re so easy to find and they can turn into such a treasure trove of information. I’ll stop using Reddit as my “main” social media, but I’ll probably still use it just for certain subreddits.
I also am looking for a replacement Grimdank. May the Machine God guide us to a new grimdark shitpost repository.
I do too, but I feel like it won’t because the whole federated thing makes it a bit difficult to grasp and seems very fragmented overall. Right now lemmy has less users than a single “small” subreddit. We’ll have to wait.
I think I’m getting the hang of it, I’m just concerned it won’t ever get to the point of having as many in depth communities as Reddit, because that’s what I like most about Reddit
Yeah I will probably still use Reddit for my hobby communities. The knowledge amassed in those subs is too valuable to leave completely
That was the thing I enjoyed most about it really
Yeah. Reddit has been my internet home since 2012. It’s surreal and depressing to see it so far gone. Still unsure where I will go next, but lemmy feels familiar at least.
Yeah, but I like to play PC games.
