I had to update the pic; forgot the biggest culprit -Microsoft. They got slapped with a fine of $731 million. I try not to think about this company at all but I had to fix it. The meme gods had to be appeased.
Also, I remember that Nextflix only bent the knee by agreeing to 30% of their content being local, but really tempted to add 'em.
Hopefully the Next Flex will be Netflix - for the meme-ability. Elon won’t do it, he would have already done. He is just exercising free speech, nothing more. If he does get in the ring, then I’ll join X 😬 & pay his subscription for a year. 👀
About as quickly as alternative platforms can replace them because of the incredible market advantage.
Lemmy, Threads and Mastodon proved they just move to the next network.
Threads is a terrible example of this. They just made everyone with an instagram account there. Not saying the others are better examples, mastodon has quite the user numbers by now but is probably still too niche in use.
Yeah all 2k of you. Lemmy is an absolute failure in bringing in new users at a commercial failure. No way most of the population is going to go on here with tankie communist admins banning people left and right, and talks about defederation every week from the rest.
This is peak.
Calling Lemmy a commercial failure shows a massive lack of understanding of even the basics of what Lemmy is.
🙄 I’m sure these servers will pay for themselves and admins are going to keep on doing their own csam scan each week and deal with the reporting for free forever.
The donations go away. The goodwill goes away. Successful open source communities always get commercial backing.
Bluesky is the likely winner here if anything.
Lemmy is not a commercial project, you’re thinking about it the wrong way. It’s run for free by volunteers.
Go back to reddit.

Yeah, extremist political instances like hexbear and Lemmygrad are killing Lemmy.
I’d be embarrassed to even tell anyone I use it in it’s current state, but I’m still hopeful it can clean up and be good.
It would be nice with alternative platforms, but I think each and everyone of the originals would break the coalition attempting to screw the rest over and gain the market, long before alternatives could be made.
