You have to realize that there is no spoon

Quite hyperbolic. Sorry but I don’t see a point for further engagement, I don’t see me your you benefitting from continuing this exchange. You don’t want to engage nor reason, you like to deflect. Which is a fine strategy to look smart, but it doesn’t further the discussion.

On a personal note; Find an instance that doesn’t give you grievances.

You might not want to look into most voting mechanisms used in representative democracies…

Voting is voting. Nobody was talking about fair, equal etc votes.

Right now the way votes are cast it imperfect and can be exploited by using sockpuppet accounts, but this can change at any time and switch to a polling service. Is that better? Well maybe, electronic voting is hard.

But as I said: Your issue is a non-issue, the inherent nature of the Fediverse makes it irrelevant, just switch instance, self-host… There’s no exclusivity here. You’re not the customer or the product here, you’re a contributor and you can contribute from anywhere.

You see a problem where there is none: Don’t like voting, find an anarchist lemmy instance. Don’t like this either? Open your own. That’s the beauty of the Fediverse, you’re not prisoner of a centralised platform, the same service, the same information can get to you via any other instance.

Now let’s have a good and narrow definition of corporate instance and we might agree on that.

A council of trusted people. I’ve seen that somewhere else before. How were these people called… Ah yes: Sowiet.

How about embrace and enshittyfy like Google Talk did with XMPP?

Incompatible with my device? Pixel 7pro here.

No. I made a point and you missed it.

Completely agreed!

No, I’m not. I do agree with the general gist of OPs post, however OP didn’t provide evidence for his extraordinary claims, that’s the weak point which is more than worthy of criticism. Being just vile and dismissing OP is proving OPs point though quite well…

Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.

QED.

There you have indeed a point. However instead of saying this first you exhibited exactly the behaviour OP is criticising. Maybe reconsider and try to be a more decent human being?

OP explicitly mentions different accounts and instances, maybe you didn’t see that part.
