I left a couple of months ago. Couldn’t be happier.

The writing is on the wall. The leader thinks the Genius-with-hair-transplants is a superstar, despite destroying a globally recognised brand. Inspired by this, Spez is trying to get Reddit ready for an IPO. This means, maximise profits by any means.

    No man made organization is infallible. Due to Lemmy’s decentralized nature though it’s objectively more difficult. Astroturfing or completely co-opting all possible instances would be quite an impressive feat.

      You don’t need to, you only need to go after the large ones. I’m already on my third instance, and having to move is such a giant pain in the ass, I don’t think I’d do it again.
