It really seems like we are looking at two sides of the same coin.
The coin has already ben tossed. Let’s see on which side it will land - I certainly hope it is the one you described.

I hear you. During the reddit exodus i left without having an alternative and stumbled upon lemmy much later. So i am fine going back to not having social media. However, a social network only survives if there is enough content. And if we are honest, lemmy barely has enough content.
Ill give you an example: I like climbing and there is !climbing@lemmy.ml with roughly 2 posts a month and !climbing@sh.itjust.works with less. I am happy to see something about my hobby twice a month. But all my friends still are on reddit, because two posts a month are not enough to them.
If you click on my profile, you will find 4 posts. I am a natural lurker, like most people on the internet, i read, vote and maybe comment. These posts, i made them because i wanted to add some content to this platform. While facebook is federated, there will be much more content. We can see theirs, they can see ours. Sounds like a win-win, right? But it may also make lemmings dependent on facebook content. If there is always more than enough content to endlessly scroll, I don’t need to upload my stuff to the network. However, if facebook pulls the plug after a long time, that leaves barely any content here and lemmy is basically dead.
I would probably still be around: Angrily clicking on some link about random big corpo, once a month smiling because someone shared a picture doing the same hobby as i. But for sure there are still people on old XMPP instances, while motivated dev’s reinvented XMPP: Matrix
from https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html :
In 2013, Google realised that most XMPP interactions were between Google Talk users anyway. They didn’t care about respecting a protocol they were not 100% in control. So they pulled the plug and announced they would not be federated anymore.
Basically keep people from using all the other platforms. Then stop supporting them. Similar like .docx never quite works in the open document editors. At least i refuse to believe that OSS devs are less skilled and motivated.

pretty sure those are the noisy minority. afterall more content drives more people. artificial walls wont benefit anyone…
French, oublier: “to forget” or “to loose”. Also a medieval torture device. Look it up at your own risk.
And every mast!
Isn’t that just a publicity stunt considering the trailer for GTA6 released recently?
Pretty sure everyone who possibly would have bought the 5th, did so during the last 10 years.
What is 440ml to begin with? A propper beer in a can is 500ml, a propper beer in a bottle is 330ml or 500ml. Everything else is a scam.
They never said, that they are annoyied by other ppl liking/posting it. They don’t like it, so they block it in order to not see things they don’t enjoy.
Thats how the internet works. Roughly 95% on the internet is not your cup of tea - learn how to find your 5%.
Venice is a hard place. Pretty much every restaurant is a tourist trap. For good food it is better to have different appetizer sized things in bars and trattorias. Didn’t find a single sit down classical restaurant with good food for reasonable price.

They are desperate, frustrated, angry… They are human.
Neutrally looked at, a couple of french farmers and craftmen had no chance against the french military of 1789. But they where pushed to a point where they believed doing nothing is worse than dying trying. By chance they actually stormed the Bastille and kickstarzed a very dark chapter in french history.
Hurting people hurt people.
Shit rolls downhill.
All i am trying to say is that, sadly, being the opressed doesn’t mean you cant be an oppressor. The world is complex…
Neither of the two parties in the United States of America are actually left. Republicans are far right, Democrats are liberal and in the middle of the left/right spectrum.
I am sorry, but your comment does not make any sense. You call tankies fascist, which is derived from the italian Fasci: the members of the Italian national socialist party (Partito Nazionale Fascist). The german word for national socialism is Nationalsozialismus and members for short: NAZI
The modern day Chinese government is many things, but they are for sure not fascist. Even if socialism and national socialism have many things in common, they are the exact opposite of the extremism spectrum.
