I was about to suggest that as well.

I’d wager another better alternative will come up that’ll be like Discord, get great traction, then go public, then enshitify. The cycle of crap software continues until a FOSS option appears.

Once you have shareholders, users don’t matter anymore, you serve them instead.

Enshitification is on the horizon…

It depends on who your other friends are. It doesn’t reflect well on you overall, I’d say, buy at the end of the day, having self respect means walking away when someone is this needlessly abrasive

Please allow us to monopolise! Please!

Nintendo can’t stop suing. It’s simply time to stop giving them money, cuz they’re pissing it away on lawsuits against websites that are making available games Nintendo refuses to sell us.

Here’s what it comes down to: negotiations based on how much money the industry makes from their work. Because without the artist, comedian, etc., their profits vanish.

Now understand that every worker in the world could realise the same thing. That’s what unions are for, having that weight to give the employees of a company leverage and ask for a bit more of the pie that wouldn’t exist without their work. Why do you think businesses fight unions so damn hard? Because it’s easier to distract or scare enough of a worker group, mostly compared to a single artist.

This is such good news!
