Wrong audience for this message. Most on lemmy are still running with their fingers in their ears yelling la-la-la really loud.

ipchains… That’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time…

Twitter is it’s own entity. Musk is not in debt, Twitter is. And if their coffers are empty they can take more debt, in Twitter’s name. I’m sure a Saudi bank would oblige as long as it’s useful. However Twitter could go bankrupt and Musk would just lose his initial investment, which was a couple of billions max. Saudis, Russians and the Peter Thiels of the world would lose their investments as well, which I’m sure they would see as a small price to pay to kill a platform so inconvenient for them as Twitter was.

Tesla? Last year all tech stocks took a dive. Tesla’s price is based on unicorns and rainbows, so it tracks the tech bubble more than real companies like Ford. Same like OpenAI and others.

This is mostly incorrect.

First he’s not overleveraged from buying Twitter. He bought it with Russian, Saudi, and 400 other investor’s money. There was aist recently published.

Second, he doesn’t need to put any personal money to pay Twitter’s fines, Twitter has its own money/debts and accounting.

Third, even if it was his own money, he would sell stock, he could borrow against it, avoiding selling it.

Fourth, even if all of the above was true (which it isn’t) for a hundred-billionaire, losing tens of millions doesn’t register. It’s like someone with a couple million bucks in the bank losing a few hundred. It’s like a nice dinner.

You’re the one that suggested reading logs helps. Burden of proof and all that.

We have the best commenters. Because of ban.

I don’t see how documenting a user’s deleted comment history helps with abusive mods and admins, or promotes either participation or consumption. Care to enlighten me?

Yes, they need, but for “normies” there’s little reason to, and you have the first mover penalty.

Which is great, but for “news” there seems to be one major community and even then there’s like 3 comments on the typical post. Any “news” communities on other instances have zero.

I have very popular hobbies (football, formula1, to name a few) and there is no community for them. Just not enough users.

Good for you, that’s probably the most important feature for the average redditor, not content relevant to them…

As a user of programming.dev I know that 99% of users don’t read the documentation and just go for whatever is easiest / less effort.

Because “white” is a race…

Not the same shithole, a more decentralized one.

And if shitty moderation would mean people leave, reddit wouldn’t have any users. Alas…

Finns is not a race, it could be an ethnicity, but not even that, since you have multiple ones in the country.

Helps document this, does little to fight it.

Same as subreddits. The problem is most communities are on .lm and .world, and already established.

And moving to a different, more decentralized shithole?

Lemmy has the same power tripping admins and mods, just more of them and each with a new and unique bias. You don’t hate AI? Ban. You acknowledge certain genocide? Ban. You made fun of my typo? Ban.

This is a dumb argument. If they banned Finland it’s OK but if they banned Congo they’re racists?

I feel like running doom is much less of a challenge
