This is the first time I've seen a Papers Please meme, and it makes me so happy.
I can hear this image
Can you not expand comment images in Jerboa? I can't read that and I can't figure out how to make it bigger.
The neat part is they really can't fuck it up. You can always run your own instance and defederate from a corporation causing problems. Eventually we'll be getting the feature to block entire instances too so you won't have to rely on your admin making that choice either.
While I agree with the worry concerning corporations joining, I don't really mind "normal" people joining though.
That being said, this is an incorrect use of the meme. The text on the two bottom panels are supposed to stay the same.
Sorry if I'm being pedantic.
No don't stop. This is the kind of nerd shit I've missed!
We sure have arrived at panel 2 indeed. If it works better for your mind consider it a completely new meme template that happens to have the same visual outline, because this meme communicates exactly what I want to communicate :)
Easy. Ban every company.
i want the fediverse as a whole to pull a tumblr and just make any attempts for companies to enter the space and monetize things to be met with such immense hostility, that companies see entering the fediverse as a potential PR nightmare waiting to happen. like can you imagine, starbucks tries to join the fediverse and everyone just starts using it for union organizing lmao
Easy. ~~Ban~~ Defederate every company.
FTFY. It's FOSS. We can't stop them from spinning up their own instances (See: Threads) but that doesn't mean we have to play nicely with them.
Edit: Fuck it, I can't get the ~~strikethrough~~ to work.
I just wouldn't use a corporate server. This here is more like old internet before the likes of google started to buy everything and consolidate the internet. Running a single server is not the same as a server farm in multiple countries.
Can corporations fuck it up if they want to? Couldn't we just migrate to a new instance and not federate? Or not federate with them from the beginning?
It'll be a lot harder for them with federated software, and when the free instances are all solidly established
@mino I already saw some adposts from coorperations here. But they werent pushed to me as no ones serves ads here.
This is not how the meme template is supposed to be used
I hate to say it, but the vibe has gotten a lot more Reddit-y over the last couple months. Lemmy used to be a lot more controversial, and not afraid to show it
I kind of like that tbh. I have identified as an anarchist/communist for over 25 years and even I thought the content at Lemmy was too much of a downer to be around too much.
The point is not the content per se, the point is nobody has any other incentive than to have a good time and share. Instead of the basic human desire to be social constantly being exploited for shiny fucking coins by robots and or psychopaths.
You pick the communities you like. Diversity is key.
Do we really want normies on our site? Will they really act as bait for the megacorps to come and ruin our federation?
In order to screw up Lemmy, corporations would have to take over 1300 or so Instances, scattered in different countries all over the world.
The second they screwed up the most popular Instance(s), folks would just move to other Instances and they could defederate from the corporate ones.
The course is clear: gatekeep the normies. Corporations won't care if easily fooled cattle don't use lemmy.
Ah shit
Here we go again
