Right. They got greedy and made it more shitty for profit. Users left and now its one of these free weekly papers with ads and classified ads. Now they are considering filling the gap of missing user content with AI so it will be a circular system without humans at one point.

Why should it leave? It’s good to be omnipresent! You have another linux community here and in many other places.

Totally agree. These platforms have no discussion culture. They are only designed to gain followers. This means only polarizing content of a very small group of users gets attention and all the rest is not even visible to other people. Reddit or Lemmy is very different in that sense. Even a new user can start a rich discussion because of subs/communities and without the need of followers. Thus the quality of the whole network is overall better.

Sorry. But this is total crap. A dictatorship won’t burn out by itself. People need to fight for freedom and democracy over and over again. It is not for granted!
