I think Lemmy project creators work 9 to 5, for 4 years, and want to collect money. They do not use Lemmy. That’s my point. They prefer Matrix. That’s my point. They don’t use Lemmy or care that it crashes all the time, they keep adding new features and the server crashing they consider acceptable.
They even brag and boast on Github that lemmy is “high performance”, and that it has “full delete” when these are not factually true and it is low-performance code and does not delete, it crashes on delete. Is it their self-deception or the audience they are deceiving, or both?
a world where peace, love, and compassion are favored by people and people voluntarily support goodness.
they can do whatever they want with it. Don’t like it, fork it.
It’s become clear that what bothers you so much, what you are trying to do is drive off conversation. You care about the machines delivering your content. I actually care that people have self-awareness in the audience of the media they use. Not have blind faith that “fork it” actually is all that matters, and ignore teachers like Marshall McLuhan or Neil Postman who think it is important consumers of media are able to see how their own brain works instead of thinking “fork it” is all that matters, code.
I think audiences could use a website like Wikipedia to do news, instead they favor websites like Reddiit, Twitter, Lemmy where the main focus is to sort by NEW and get FRESH “breaking news” without accuracy. A rumor mill of rushed information that is often inaccurate or distorted for the purposes of selling adverting/marketing/product placement. I don’t think the cost or “fork it” technology of Wikipedia style sites is the problem, I think the issue is audiences have become addicted to and seek out poor-quality information so they can argue about it. A Wikipedia system with edit history and citations would put an end to too many debates and arguments that people see to seek on rapid “refresh” social media.
I think humanity has gone from the information age to the disinformation age, and I think it is self-destruction, a major war or other self-destruction brewing.

Again, what’s your point? Lemmy belongs to them, they can do whatever they want with it. Don’t like it, fork it. What’s your goal?
