At this point it would be better usage of money to make it a surveillance state instead of a police state, cameras won’t shoot you

Is you a youngin? Cause no product under the control of a billionaire is free. If it’s free, you are the product. AI is hated and they’re trying to make a product using that hate as a basis for target audience
Agreeing with this individual. The US has been an oligarchy for a while and late President Carter said it himself “It violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president. And the same thing applies to governors and U.S. senators and congress members. So now we’ve just seen a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors, who want and expect and sometimes get favors for themselves after the election’s over. … The incumbents, Democrats and Republicans, look upon this unlimited money as a great benefit to themselves. Somebody’s who’s already in Congress has a lot more to sell to an avid contributor than somebody who’s just a challenger.”
You’re not wrong, I don’t know why people are downvoting you.
Somehow they believe the wages paid in the US is normalized everywhere else.
Some senior developers in the EU for example make a salary of ~60k euro. Which roughly translate to 30 hourly.
Not to mention third world country where all these Corporations outsource their work.
Mind you OP asked about a open source project and not a scaled enterprise software
Floods in money? Is that not how America is always providing money to Israel to ensure Israel has a place in the Middle East. Sounds to me like we’re being biased on this view.
Can you help me get a source on the attack you mentioned today? All I am finding is how Israel attacked Beirut; was this in retaliation by Hezbollah?
You mentioned the wealth and health of Palestine is happening due to all these foreign adversaries but is it not because Israel does not want to share a space with that same Palestine because of Hamas? I understand both sides is killing the state but from what is observed Israel seems much more on the fence in its eradication rather than a cooperation under the pretense of elimination of threat.
You seem very aware of the situation so I’m sure you know more than I but from what I’ve read multiple times the aids towards Gaza was stopped in its track by the IDF including at the ports.
I’ve read that in history there is a fabrication of claims and ideas to justify the action of idealists and I hope it is not the case right now with misinformation being a big part of media; social and mainstream.
The economics of a social platform relies on growth over time and Lemmy is growing at the perfect pace because it’s not a single entity but a collaborative entity.
Once bigger federations break through to the mainstream market you’ll see the relevance of smaller federations growing along with it as it becomes a ‘bigger’ ecosystem
Mentioned in the comment section below what is necessary for community growth and it doesn’t require millions, only a few hundred active members.
