  • You are once again building a flawed model of the dynamic at play here in an attempt to ease the discomfort you feel from encountering something that doesn’t make sense to you (why did I choose to join this community?). I’m not even attempting to build any counterarguments because the responses I’ve gotten don’t even attempt to understand what I’ve said in the beginning. To be utterly frank I just lack respect for people who think of themselves as any flavour of anarchist while still dreaming of a system as thoroughly rigid as the artificially created Internet. You pretend to hate the system while desperately trying to invent excuses for continuing to make yourself at home within it.



  • Frankly I think big tech companies need to stop pretending that the Internet is an open public space, and to stop attempting to market their platforms to the public as such. Even Lemmy here relies upon a vast network of privately owned infrastructure in order to function. Frankly the whole ordeal feels like an elaborate bait and switch, trying to lure people into living their entire lives online while quietly removing their freedom to make decisions for themselves about what they engage with and how.
