Because when idiots see criticism they take it as haters just hating and it strengthens their convictions.

Yeah status quo is the only reason to not throw caution to the wind and burn the whole thing down. It’s why nothing will ever get better.

Or we can hope that it does take the entire market economy down with it…

Why are so many of you hoping to recreate Reddit? No one tried to turn Facebook into MySpace, no one is trying to turn Substack into LiveJournal… Platforms fade, people move on, new platforms crop up. That’s the circle of life on the web.

Most of us aren’t trying to turn this into Reddit and grow it to unsustainable levels. You are welcome to create your own instance and defederate from the ones you don’t like.

Totally understandable. I don’t want to come off like I was well read on this, I was definitely jumping to a conclusion based on the companies involved.

I never claimed to know everything about it, but fair enough, I definitely may have misunderstand that aspect. Thanks for the clarification!

Either by launching their own apps or by having access to Overture’s usage stats and meta data.

Can’t collect data on users without starting their own thing.

Unfortunate that he is going to get away with being a piece of shit just because he has mental health issues, just like Kanye…

I have mental health issues, but if I were an asshole to everyone around me, I wouldn’t have anyone around me anymore…. Having a lot of money offsets any sort of obligation to be a decent human.

Delete this post.

It’s really been downhill since they lost all their colonies. Lol

What does this even mean?

This is exactly the news I needed today. I have been playing with the idea of using Funkwhale or Ampache, but couldn’t bring myself to self host another media system knowing that Plex could theoretically do it. The regular Plex app sucks so hard for music tho, this is gonna solve my issue I think.

Can’t wait for most people to give up and go back to Reddit lol.

Seriously… I don’t think I have ever had a CEO say anything that didn’t make me think they are a robot in a skin suit.

I’m sure it still costs less than the CEOs salary.

Yeah, that was my concern as well, figured this post could spark a discussion and maybe someone would have a solution or at least some extra insight. I know there is a LOT going on with development right now, so I don’t expect a priority here, especially because they are definitely working within the confines of ActivityPub functionality when it comes to federation. Thanks for your input!

Yeah, I did skim over that as well and was hoping maybe my post could trigger a discussion that could lead to a possible solution. This is what i was worried about tho.
