This does not help.
And yet it gets repeated (and upvoted) in every thread.
Acts like a psyop to stop us finding solutions. Now, I will respond and you should too.
That's Lemmy in a nutshell. Guillotine and Luigi memes are constantly repeated because they know that no one's actually going to act on that stuff, but any time anyone suggests a practical means to weaken the oligopoly people come out of the woodwork to shut it down.
You think? I consider these memes more like a reminder of our global to-do list. It doesn't mean we can't selfhost a matrix server at the same time.
Those memes remind me I don't actually hate myself I hate the system I am forced to interface with.
Without them I would not take more action, I would just hate myself more and be even sadder.
Help with what?
