It’s cliche but it all starts with you. Don’t tolerate it to begin with. Have a moral compass that understands that infinite growth is inherently flawed and there’s nothing wrong with something remaining niche. Remember in all your interactions every day that it is always a person first and what they represent second.
Of course they want to grow the free mods out there and replace them with marketing shills. It’s nothing new, just better tools to probably make it less obvious.
They specifically used r/buyitforlife as an example of how to market on Reddit. Thing is that the trustworthiness came from users and this will dilute the trust in that sub rendering it useless. I hate what they have become.
Trust will take some time to degrade though, and in the meantime they can cash in that genuine goodwill for customers to their shitty products. They don’t care about destroying the community, so the community must protect itself or become useless and cease to exist.
Well, I would like to think that this will get some more Redditors to become Lemmings, but I don’t have high hopes. Unfortunately, there hasn’t been a significant migration during the APIcalypse, so I don’t see that happening now.
Is there anything we can do to speed up adoption of Lemmy? Like everyone else, I don’t love what’s going on over there, but all my communities are still highly active on it.
This feels so disgusting to read. Like a hunter who found it’s pray and is bragging about, before they lure the whole elephant family into spike traps and neck shoot whoever survived, in front of the whole herd.
Good thing we don’t have anyone infiltrating our favorite communities on Lemmy to market a movie, like the Golden Globe winning, Oscar nominated sensation of summer 2023, “Barbie”, now available on Blu-ray and select streaming services!
All we get on Lemmy is the dumbest tier of Russian shills pretending to be communists to help Republicans, which is a really surreal thing to type out.
On some level, I kind of long for a more innocent time when the most malevolent force was just some Sony viral marketing pushing “PlayStation exclusive” posts to the front page ahead of a game launch.
This post entertains me almost as much as Raid: Shadow Legends, which I play all the time on my… um, consoles? PC? Mobile? Gaming device! I always play it on my gaming device which I definitely use to play Raid: Shadow Legends without interruptions. All day.
For what it’s worth, I’ve watched Barbie while I still haven’t seen Oppenheimer, or even the first part of Dune, so there’s that. Make what you will of it. I actually liked it.
