I’d rather Lemmy burn to the ground than become famous, seriously watching AND experiencing twitter, reddit, Facebook, MySpace, my-yearbook, and (does Skype count?). I would like to make Lemmy my forever social media. Only time will tell if it lasts though.
While I agree with absolutely everything in the article, Twitter was already quite bad before Musk, at least for the end user.
The platform excels at letting people shout into an echo chamber, and is easily falling into opinion pits. The fall of Twitter was an inevitability frankly, Musk merely sped things up.
Honestly, I think the idea of echo chamber style social media is slowly on the way out, they have way too much bad PR for way too long to be sustainable anymore, or maybe that’s me being positive.
Either way, social media will be changing, for better or worse within the next few years.
The irony of yout cynical attitude and your totally blind to it is interesting, to say the least.
Let them fight in a sewer.
Holy shit, the 4chan take immediately attacking someone’s physical looks.
This has been going on for a very long time, just at varying degrees of deepfakery. A couple of years ago it was just a picture of him and a generic computer voice reading a “transcript” that he definitely for sure wrote about etherium and doge coin being the best way to make money.
I can’t wait for vertical tabs! I can finally stop using so many plug-ins.
Though the AI stuff, it’s so much better to get a dedicated program or app for them, I do not need an AIO browser for freaking AI.
Wow, nice job putting things in quotes I never said.
“I have a deep seated need to make you follow my specific beliefs otherwise you are the problem and I must demean you online.”
See, I can do it too. Grow up.
Honestly, Fight for demolishing Amazon, google, apple, Nvidia, fascist politics, literally any car company, Boeing, big oil, big pharma, etc etc. They are all much much bigger, and much much more evil than. anything valve could possibly do. thats the real fight.
The systemic issue you are talking about is far higher than any company or conglomerate. You cannot blame them for playing the game they’ve been given. The system itself needs changed, until such a day I will continue to use the products and services that do not ruin my bank or values. Therefore I will continue to use steam, they are not harming me, I am no fucking victim. The world you desire won’t come to pass by crying online and telling others how to feel. Go be the change you want and protest, send mail to government officials, fuck it throw some tomato sauce in some paintings, do whatever you have to. But do not, under any circumstance think I’m going to change my mind on a service that I not only use, but like and most generally would endorse. If you want to change minds, you need a compelling argument.
ADHD rant over, thanks for your time.
You are so lost in the sauce. We’re talking about a company that hosts a video game sales platform, if I feel like they are fucking me, I can go elsewhere, there’s epic, gog, ubishit, ea, xbox, itch, I don’t have to go to steam. I choose to.
If they aren’t fucking me, let them make as much as they want. There are far, FAR bigger fish to fry.
With your one word reply to the post.
You don’t get to decide for me who I think is or isn’t hurting me, I do.
With these takes, what I really want to know is: Who hurt you?
Hot take: if they aren’t hurting me or others, money wise or not, I don’t care if they have majority market share. In this case it makes sense, they treat their customers right and don’t bully the market.
This simply isn’t the fight.
Steam? Really out of all these, the the one that treats it’s customers properly and gives them any and all tools needed to make a proper purchase decision with many big sales consistently. Great call
As an American, please don’t let them come here. We have enough dumb rich idiots.
Without doxing myself, from my hometown the nearest charging station is 30 miles away, that’s not end of the world far its definitely feasible but its not good enough. Especially when there’s gas stations everywhere. Charging stations need to be in way more places outside cities before they become appealing to folks living outside built up areas.
Sorry, still at 6.
Then their name checks out.
So many things come to mind reading this, but the most important thought is: This will be how the bastards finally get rid of those pesky teachers and their gasp progressive teachings! /s I hope this fails hard, because a world without trading ideas to children is just prison for all.
