    Because they’re hopeful they can save the site through activism. What they forget is that they are not protesting a government, they are trying to stop a corporate entity from fulfilling it’s legal obligations to make money for it’s investors.

          Btw, do you guys also have JSON error when you try to upload some files for like a banner or something? Or is it just me?

            Nah, I had the same issue too. It turned out to be the size of the banner, but I went through trial and error to get the right size because I couldn’t find any lemmy documentation for what the right size is.

      There’s nothing wrong with Reddit trying to be profitable. It should be profitable.

      Apollo and Reddit Is Fun even had large subscriber bases willing to pay up to support our usage.

      Reddit leadership is just really shitty. That is just the reality. Even if they wanted to be profitable, Spez simply doesn’t know how to get there.

        there is a problem, in the same way your cat pees on your rug to mark territory, its instincts for marking are too strong and its higher reasoning is too weak to stop it. its when capitalism being an instinct, takes over higher brain functions is it a problem.

        No, community-owned efforts like Lemmy and Debian exist precisely because neither corporations nor governments are fit to run them.
