if they did that on Fedi, they'd get the exact same treatment, and in addition to that people would call for defederating the instance they'd signed up on.
I asked for it to be in sh.itjust.works' bylaws. No commercial spam.
I feel like corporations look at Lemmy/The Fediverse the same way Mufasa looked at the place where the hyenas lived.
I mean, good? I guess they'd bring some user growth, but they'd just post their brand stuff that I don't imagine most people really want in their feeds, and there's the risk that they end up getting favored treatment on larger instances by donating more than a typical user can or paying the moderators there.
My thoughts exactly.
There are vanishingly few places on the Internet that are not inundated with constant ads, promotions, astroturfing, and commercials.
It's why I like it here.
Sure I don't want ads pumped into my feed but some corporations can do social media well. I used to follow Yorkshire Tea on twitter who were generally pretty funny, I don't drink even drink their teas.
Also way too many corps don't have up to date information on their website and their twitter profile has more recent info. The lack of that on any FOSS/decentralized social media means that some people just have to keep a centralized account open.
@scintilla@lemm.ee that's the main thing for me too. That news orgs, political agencies, and corporations use Xitter to communicate is the real travesty.
Yes, we want to build a social network free of the corporate hold so we shouldn't be eager to welcome corporation.
meanwhile i look at Lemmy/Fediverse the same way e621 looks at the place where the hyenas lived
Nah, defederation means we couldn't bully them anymore.
is bullying worthier than having a peace of mind?
Bullying unethical companies is peace of mind.
Bullying will continue untill moralle improves !
carry on then!
Lululemmy.com is still around though.
Okay Lululemmy is a great name actually.
@noodlejetski@lemm.ee oh sure, bit of a pot calling kettle black situation though.
