If it means the end of overpaid talking heads then I’m all for it.

Thank you for sharing this. new thinking for me to explore.

Go back to work in the office, slaves, so you need to buy my shitty cars to commute.

Starbucks, you’re next!

Now I feel at home! You guys are awesome!!!!!

That is very helpful!

Easy there, spez!

We collectively need to do something to secure the long-term future. My initial thought is to follow aspects of Craigslist - create a non-profit behemoth that has a virtual monopoly on the infrastructure, so it cannot be displaced by a for-profit entity. No one can challenge Craigslist’s hold on “electronic classified ads” because 1 ) network affects 2) they can’t be undercut on price while still creating an “economic surplus” ie profits for someone else. Maybe this proposed organization could charge a small subscription fee for power users or something like that.

Thanks for the honest feedback.

What do people think about scraping Reddit for some specific content and rehosting it over here on Lemmy? For example the stories from r/BestofRedditorUpdates. It would make Lemmy feel more like home and add much needed content.
