I think this is why net neutrality is so important. Back in the days the electromagnetic spectrum was not as heavily regulated as it is now. Technically anyone with the technical know how could set up a broadcasting station. Then CBS, ABC, NBC all got together and did exactly what these companies are doing. They banded together to make it harder for the average person to get access to technology. This is their primariy goal. To give their companies priority at the network level (seconds matter) and also, most likely what they want is to 1. Find ways for their content to be regulated differently and be sold as network packages 2. Probably allow their content to be delivered through means that require people pay THEIR ISPs. Now, i will be honest. I have not read the article but i knlw this has been the intended goal for many years.

I swear the God. It feels like Musk gets in a room to concoct how they can make their company shittier.
"Elon, how about if we make the app more appealing to a wider audience by moderating hate content?"
"No, but what about if we get rid of the reason why it's valuable, we rename it to a shitty name, we allow more hate and then we demand people to provide IDs?"
"Umm, sure.."
The only thing more pathetic than Musk are his fans that would defend him no matter what idiotic thing he says or does.
The fact that they're bringing this back in a month other than April is pathetic. I don't know what species is worse. You don't see them trying to fuck each other over for a goddamn percentage.
But they will never know what is like to be under the fear of a cold war and a nuclear attack...oh, wait, shit!
Mr. Putin, bring down this wall!!
The bitching IS important. The more people can be convinced to join this community and the more people leave reddit, the more likely that reddit will get to be a StumbleUpon or Digg. It would be an amazing feat that would show the power of community!
Man so far i am loving lemmy and the fediverse. Clunky? Yes. But i love this real sense of community that was lost at reddit. Losing RIF was truly a blessing in disguise. I hope more people will move here but even if they don't, I am ok. I am sick and tired of my data being something that goes to feed the pockets of some corporation. Fuck it.
Because the site goes down too often. I get it, not the developers fault. But it will take off only if there is more reliable.
