You mean tech shouldn’t regulate itself? Shocker.
This is how you become a trillionaire. Nothing has been stopping them from being a monopoly, so why stop now.
If they are allowed to do it, then it’s hard to blame them. They have free reign to do everything. Destroying the environment, obliterating competition, and enshittifying their own products along the way.
Welcome to the future now.
Don’t threaten us with a good time!
Right. This goes for every company, ever. No company is going to do what they should do if it’s not profitable or beneficial to them in some way. It makes sense if you think about it, but that’s also why regulation exists. So that they don’t become too unhinged.
So when the existential threat is made public, it’ll already be in the palm of his hand. Wonderful.
Why don’t you pour resources into preventing homelessness in the first place you twats
No Big Tech company has your best interests in mind. Ever.
Reminder: this is the company that holds a monopoly on the internet and dictates web standards.
I need to understand why people still keep giving that man money. Willingly. It’s mind boggling.
That network wasn’t built overnight either, though. The same way it was built little by little over time, it can also be dismantled.
I understand the chokehold of network effects. I really do. But what’s the alternative?
Where’s the bill to remove everyone who’s not a Native American from this stolen land? Oh, right.
Whose fault is it though? I get that collective will is hard, but you as an individual have the power to move, organize, mobilize, whatever you want.
The company doesn’t value you? Move. Why are you giving this company free labor?
For the “prestige” of being a (“anonymous”) reddit mod? Give me a break. There’s better things to do and be prouder of in life.
Stop giving this company time, money, and attention. And tell others to do the same. Otherwise, you’re digging your own (and everyone else’s) hole.
Yes, it’s unfair, but it’s an unfair system. So let’s all do our part. And let’s also organize and mobilize on that. Can’t be done by continuing to feed it.
Serious question: why does everyone in silicon valley have a god complex?

Fuck Google. Ruining the internet for profit.

I couldn’t agree more. We shouldn’t need to be somewhere else to receive announcements (especially such important ones).
Not to mention Discord’s horrible record of privacy and security. I don’t have an account and will never make one, and I’m sure many others in the fediverse will agree.
I actually just tested out the account making process, and I got asked for my phone number. No. Way.
We’re here because we care about a decentralized, open network. Aside from its confusing and busy UX, it’s not even indexable. Discord is literally a black hole for information and terrible for everyone except for Discord itself, who is doing who knows what with all of our data.
Discord is everything the fediverse stands against.
Can we just dismiss Google in general?
Have you also tried using Signal instead of WhatsApp? Sorry, had to do it.
