Yeah, defederation is not the answer. We are few and we need to stick together. That’s the whole point of the fediverse after all, many connected together.

Hi, fellow lurker! I’ve being doing my part commenting here and there. I’m loving this place!

Convenience and habit breed complacency. They do not undestand yet, that corporations are slowly eroding their freedom of exploring and sharing information. Through limitations you control accessibility, that then later you can monetize. So in the end they will have to pay, to get what they had once for free.

It is a form of brainwashing, when you think everything needs to be monetized. It is a form of brainwashing, when you end valuing only what you are forced to pay for. It is a form of brainwashing, when you defend those that are taking away your access to something you had for free.

Why aren’t those same people that defend the right of corporations to make a profit, defending the rights of the mods of getting paid for their labor? So is it okay for the individuals to volunteer their free labor and share ther content for the good of the community, but the corporations must make money out of it? Pick one model: sharing or monetization. You can’t have both, you hypocrites!
