I’ll admit I was a bit taken in by the image his PR people created, a few years back before he decided he didn’t need them. I think I wanted to believe in the benevolent billionaire bullshit, that maybe a rich person wanted to do some good in the world. Dumb fuckin me, won’t be making that mistake again.

Or fashion bow ties from their testicles. . ?

Space heaters are one of the most expensive methods. Check the power consumption, they are hungry things.

I know it kinda sounds like a broken record when people say this but it’s still true - the problem is capitalism.

Yeah, but when individual awareness isn’t enough, how can we stop it?

Yeah I did over ten years on reddit. It was fun, but it’s not been that hard to move on. Plus I’m reading more.

I used to use Facebook a lot but gave that up a few years ago. Pretty much quit twitter since it went downhill. Social media platforms aren’t actually as addictive as we think they are.

I did. Said I’d be leaving when they did the API thing and stuck with it. Missed reddit for a week and then moved on. Sync for Lemmy is fine. Lemmy is quieter but there’s also less bullshit.

As does my mum, who failed her test over ten times in a manual. She just couldn’t get the hang of the clutch. Me, I don’t like automatics, feels like I have less control.

Anyone got any idea why they are doing this? Seems a bit extreme.

“They don’t speak the same language as me, but I’ve got faith that God will figure something out.”

I think maybe it requires legislation or a change in systems. It’s not really feasible to rely on millions of individual customers coming together to punish bad companies, it just doesn’t seem to happen effectively or make a significant impact.

Thanks, will do.

Hey mate,

Yeah I’m another one who followed you over from reddit.

I think I maybe need to play with Lemmy a bit more - it’s a bit confusing. Is there a map? A general guide or explanation for the ignorant?

Also, cheers mate - you must have put in a shit load of effort in a very short time to put this together. Fast development since the reddit API bullshit. Respect. An I paid ultra cos I like your work
