🤮

Who are the morons that keep making these decisions?

It's all about abuse.

Companies get too big for their britches and are accustomed to doing whatever they want with their sheep just going along.

I'm sure they're very surprised to see any kind of significant backlash.

In reality, reddit gave a userbase to a platform that previously had none.

We need to reclaim the wealth that has been stolen so our families don't end up serving their families in perpetuity.

Their children should have to live like regular kids.

I dunno about netflix, but at least the reddit debacle diverted a lot of users to the fediverse.

If we get a similar exodus from discord to matrix, that would work wonders for spreading the fediverse to others. Most of them still haven't even heard of it.

Why can't they just tell us who they are?

No car has gotten anywhere close to the level of tech in Tesla.

Not really, and you have to consider a lot of 'tech' is useless crap nobody cares about like door handles that recede into the vehicle.

People literally just want an electric motor instead of an ICE. Dumb shit like touchscreens and tracking exist because companies charge more for each "feature" than it actually costs to implement.

Eventually, we're going to have to make our own countries in order to avoid surveillance.

You should know that the only people you're going to affect are the ones who actually care about what you think of them.

The assholes are just 'fishing' and will completely forget about your response when they try to get with their next target.

Yeah, I have no idea why the matrix developers decided to have stuff called "spaces and rooms" instead of servers and channels.

I wish more people had this mindset.

Avoiding contributing to the economy as much as possible.

Doing business under the table, never eating at restaurants, never spending money on digital entertainment I could be getting for free.

I'm honestly a lot happier than when I was consuming.

New U.S. rules will soon ban Chinese software in vehicle systems that connect to the cloud, part of an effort to prevent cameras, microphones and GPS tracking in cars from being exploited by foreign adversaries.

Only the US and Israel get to spy on Americans.

If you really want to fight back, learn from the Mexican cartels and Islamic insurgencies.

We have data on what works.

Kind of reminds me of how Pride just became another advertising platform for businesses.

Money really does ruin everything.

True, but it made it easy to chat with others without having to enter in an IP address.

Sony really dropped the ball this generation.

Maybe we'll see, you know, actual games being released in the next one.

Yeah, as long as they smash, they win.

All of that extra bullshit actively detracts from discord and I hope Matrix never follows suit.

It's alright.

I'm glad I can take my laptop and essentially work anywhere with a power outlet and an internet connection.
