I’m sure they’re watching the reddit situation very closely.

I can’t speak for anyone else, but I haven’t been back to reddit since the blackouts started. No desire to.

“Landed gentry”… Because that’s what I think about when I think about unpaid employees.

Can we stop trying to coin cute terms like “enshittification”? What that term describes is just capitalism working as intended.

There is a term that describes this behavior that we’ve been using for at least decades (to describe behavior that has happened since the inception of capitalism): rent seeking.

It’s time for people to stop ignorantly railing against nuclear.

Fucking thank you. Are people really this gullible? Maybe I have a different perspective because I’ve been free from Facebook for like 15 years now, but do these people really think that Meta/Facebook wants to be nice to its competitors? Suddenly they’re going to give up the business model that has made them one of the biggest, most profitable corporations that has ever existed on this planet, and do the exact opposite of what they did to get there? LOL.

I think it would be incredibly naive and foolish to believe Meta has any kind of pure motives for this.

One of the biggest corporations in the world reaching out to its competitor to try to get them to talk “off the record” about “confidential details”… Sounds like a pretty blatant scheme to get them to reveal confidential details about their competitor’s product.

Or maybe Meta has broken with decades of its own conduct, and several centuries of capitalism, in order to reach out in good faith to their competitor. LOL.
