Yes and in the comments thread of the admin announcement the responses were overwhelmingly against defederation. Meaning the admins don’t give a shit about the community. Same reason I left reddit. I’ve already created a new account on another instance though so it’s all good.

Understood. Really I don’t care if my comments and posts remain I just wanted to send a message to the admins like I did to #spez when I bailed from that site.

Yeah I’ve already joined another instance, I just want to send them a message like I did with reddit. No time for powertrip mods…

I’d love to. I hosted a mail/webserver on a liquid cooled server in my kitchen for 15 years but one day the pump failed and the server melted. After that went to dedicated cloud hostile but it was too expensive and always having to fight off the script kiddies got really tiring…

Ok :-)

Thank you!

Capitalism is so normalized it’s like the air we don’t realize we’re breathing. You get lefty instances pointing out how freaking insane it is especially with global warming, and libs lose their minds

may I offer you this trophy for excellence in commentary: 🏆

I’ve been called a tankie but I never diss anyone, I like to engage in dialogue. Heck I majored in philosophy so it’s kind of my jam. It’s a pity to punch left though, especially when we’re soo buried in right wing media and thought these days.

Yeah I don’t understand why lemmy.world would defederate from that instance. They like anti war, anti colonialism, pro human rights pro LGBTQ and yes SOCIALIST

We’re inundated with right wing propaganda and there is so little left wing information out there that punching down on this tiny thought group seems, I dunno, to say we’d prefer the ‘offical’ take on everything

I dig this sentiment and agree 💯

Why is suicide anthropomorphic?

Seems obvious they are committing suicide

Oh theve definitely gone down in quality. I used to skate hard on a pair of half cabs and they would last a year. Now I walk on them and within 6 months I got holes in the rubber. Absolutely quality has gone down as part of the planned obsolescence maximize profit plan.

Need to find a company that doesn’t suck cause these vans have turned to shit

Monopoly means inflation. No antitrust means inflation. Companies colluding to fix prices an essential goods? You guessed it: inflation

This is so wonderful. The only way to stop the inevitable enshitification of everything is to band together, one way or another, and call it out. Don’t want to be part of it! We’ll make our own place.

Its called “enshitification” and it exists everywhere. Subscription model everything. Maximize profit at user experience everywhere. Destroy Twitter with a pay to post model. Look at google search results lately. No actual results just a bunch of paid garbage. And don’t get me started on pay to win video games lol

It’s the profit motive. It’s the capitalism. At least we’ve got Lemmy and federated media!

It’s ok capitalism will market an efficient way to commodify their deletion from the liquidity pool to insure shareholders maximise returns on the product that is human suffering
