Last time they tried this we fought a whole ass war over it. I highly doubt that it’ll go nearly as swimmingly lol.

Pot, meet kettle

Mildly irritating that I’ve got to manually block those communities… but it’s whatever

Lemmy is mirrored with all federated instances

And that’s totally fine. That’s the beauty of the internet, not everybody has to pitch in, and if you can’t you shouldn’t feel bad about it. There was a time when I was a starving college student and was doing the five finger discount on a very regular basis. We’re glad you’re here regardless.

That’s how things should work honestly. Those that can chip in, should. A beer every so often goes a long way. It’s honestly something I barely notice in my finances too. This time it goes to something I believe in instead of a twitch sub lol.

Ibm has a reputation for destroying everything they touch thanks to one thing.

Profit at every cost.

Never trust a big corp, never expect anything from them except the intent to screw you. They’ll be expecting a thank you.

I’m old enough to remember when this sort of thing was a regular thing, especially with bulletin boards popping up and burning down with regularity. Apart from crowd sourced troubleshooting and the like, reddit hasn’t really done much for me.
