    Okay, hear me out, we should make a different service, like a network of computers where people can freely post information on some sort of page that other people can freely access without needing to log in to a million services. Maybe we could also add like little conversation boards to those to allow people to ask and answer questions, too.

    Wild, I know, but I think there is some opportunity there.

      The important part is not building it, but convincing the world, alas.

        Yeah, not gonna happen. Fact is, Johnny Everyday doesn’t give a shit he’s flooded with ads, tracked on every click and is now forced into exclusivity deals because “somebody has to pay for this stuff and it ain’t me”. Likewise, the people giving the answers don’t care that they literally work for free for some megacorporations. It’s a rotten system and society is to blame.

        We are not making a difference here either, not fooling myself into thinking that. I mainly use Lemmy because I can access it with any app I want while sitting on the loo.
