Yeah no. Not going to encourage or enable a society of looters. If we are looking for justice let's start eating the super rich.

I guess you're right. The contrast between people raving about working for Linus in the past and some of the information coming to light now is just too dissonant to process for me.
It's been better since moving away from lemmy.world, then Sync being available also helped a lot. But unfortunately as many have noted already, this is not as easy to get into for more casual users so it's heavily biased towards tech topics and communities. Smaller communities will probably take a lot longer to take off if at all and I'm sad about that loss so far.
The thing is, you'd espect more people to leave the place if it's abusive. Hopefully they will be able to clear the air and enact some real consequences.
Yeah, it's basically bing with no Microsoft tracking. What the hell kind of timeline is this where bing is the best search engine?
They have in the past and then they decided, no, let's say it's too difficult and use it as one of the excuses to guarantee limited lifetime of a product.
I have the type that is basically a little shower head with a hose attached to the water supply next to the toilet. We use it to wash with soap after every toilet visit and it is fantastic. When I am away from it on holidays or trips I suffer.

Kept having stability issues with the instances I joined. One of them even dissapeared completely (rip vlemmy). I ended up on a anarchy/piracy one and it's been the best experience so far.
I never understood this tactic. Why demoralize your whole workforce for months until enough motivated and talented people leave that you don't have to fire anyone. The useless ones are never the first ones to leave, especially if they don't have any talents to sell to other companies. Also people don't leave immediately after it turns bad, it usually takes months for them to be demoralized enough and find new arrangements.
By that time wouldn't it be smarter to eat the cost of firing people from the start, get rid of the fat, pay the severance and move on with those that can still lead you to success? I'm convinced the moral hit would be a lot less this way and the bounce back would be faster.
Technically still based on an existing and very recognizable IP, that's probably part of the success. The story is mostly original I guess.
It's probably exactly this. There's no inherent danger to tiktok compared to any other shitty data gathering corporation.
