  • That’s because fines are hilarious. I propose a ‘jail time’ for companies engaging in wrongdoing. Basically a timeframe for which they can’t operate. For small things they should stop operating for a day/few days/week/months/years with or without a chance for ‘parole’ after a period. Scale up based on the crime. For egregious crimes, it should be ‘life’ without a chance of parole. This would get companies to behave so fast you’ll get whiplash.


  • Over the years I’ve become a glass half full kind of a person when small people fight against big corporations. Eventually the dust settles, and the people give up, but the company goes on. There are exceptions, but this has been the norm. I would be pleasantly surprised if all this actually brings Reddit’s downfall.

    I think there are two reasons. I think Reddit has way more ‘normal’ users than Digg who feel strongly about this, and there is no one single Reddit to replace Digg this time around. Please correct me if I’m wrong.






  • There is definitely a thing as a community that becomes too big. I really liked that concept in ‘Sapiens’. For a community to grow much bigger than a couple hundred, there needs to be a common belief, or a common enemy. That is why religion was a crucial element 2000 years ago. Right now, beehaw/lemmy is growing rapidly because of that common enemy, reddit, but the real test is once the reddit thing dies down one way or another.

    That might not work as you think it would because the rss feed does not include the discussions. For that you need to visit reddit, and discussions are what make reddit what it is. I’d much rather if they migrate here, but if that’s not possible, at least if we have a bot crossposting stuff from there to here, so that we can have our own discussions going on that topic.
