It’s going good so far 🤞🤞

Yeah, but in federated social media you can just pack up and set up a new instance.

You won't ever need to leave the whole thing behind to disconnect from corporate BS.

I wouldn't mind some of the "normies" joining. I'm a programmer too, and while the programmer/Linux jokes get a little bit of a chuckle out of me I wouldn't mind some other stuff.

Corporations are coming, it's inevitable, but at least this time we won't have to deplatform ourselves to have a sensible discussion.

I felt kinda bad for the people who were here when I joined two months ago. They had their own little community which would get quickly overrun by ex redditors. I wasn't sure if I was a refugee or a colonizer.

Can we stop the gatekeeping and that normie bs, plz ffs

It’s certainly starting to show that some people with views who wasn’t here before are starting to arrive. Like people openly trolling, making racist and confrontational comments. Feels pretty bad, it was such a nice haven here.

Great. Now I'm worried I'm a normie and not the "Manifest Destiny" nerd I have been trying to be.

Seriously though, from the comments, it's seems like the corporate rats gaining ground in places that are federated is going to be a lot harder, and more user resilient.

controversial opinion; I think lots of companies should host lemmy instances for their own support forums.

Different version:

Only nerds with the worst opinions migrate

One time we thought that Google was a cool startup head on against corporate giant Microsoft 😔

I dont think you know how this meme works

This is called enshittification, and happens to all platforms.

I hate the word normie (ususally used by incels and the like)

Don't kid yourself. Its us that fuck it all up. We love getting fleeced by the simplest of content creators. We will walk in every single thing we hate about other sites into this site just because someone entertains us.

Soon as they got our attention, they'll monetize our it and everything will go to shit.

Its forbidden to talk shit about content creators, they make content and content is king.

On the internet, Creative people are the guys in suits. They'll do whatever they can to turn your every waking minute into a 24/7 commercial

Anything that gains too much steam and mainstream attention is ripe for corporate takeover/infiltration. Federation should hopefully keep them at bay for a while.

But because it's federated, we can secede at anytime. It's a fool proof system like the united states.

Is there a FOSS license that can prohibit code being used for profit over a certain amount?

What's a normie? I don't think I have seen one yet. /j

How would that even happen?
