While reddit makes further enemies, I laugh because I know the #fediverse will benefit from their outflow. The fediverse will become even more diverse.

Capitalism is fine as long as people aren’t complete scumbags about it. Rare, I know. It’s a human morality proposition.

Capitalism could be amazing if the psychos of society didn’t constantly rise to the top then again the same could be said for communism and just about every other system we’ve tried.

You’re putting the cart before the horse. Capitalism incentivizes people to be scumbags.

Capitalism is great, but it absolutely must be tempered by regulation.

The problem comes when the capitalist gains influence over the regulator, aka, regulatory capture.

You can say the same thing about many ideologies: socialism, communism, capitalism. All are great in theory. But humans exploit any system they can. That is their nature and purpose.

OP mentioned how badly the company was managed. So yea, 2017 saw them take a lot of money, go in a hiring spree… and do jack shit to improve the platform.

Fast forward to now and mods used 3rd party apps to do the job that they do FOR FREE, all while Reddit made… NFTs?

Reddit is trying to run up the down escalator though; it wants to get to the top and is trying harder than all those other businesses that attempted a different approach….
