Because people view their products as necessities to everyday life. People want to eat meat and and (real) cheese no matter what.
If without subsidies it becomes cheaper to import these types of foods, it becomes a national security issue.
Plus without subsidies this stuff gets more expensive, so people will start complaining
Nobody said that companies have to make exponential profits, that's why non social media companies are doing ok.
The reason social media companies are failing is because investors are tired of throwing cash away and need them to turn a profit
Nah man I'm talking about saying dang ol boomhauer
How do you mean?
Burgitt.moe seems bad but idk if it's bad enough. They're really into the whole free speech thing (and they ignore DMCA which is nice) but usually the ultra free speech places get overrun and polarized very quickly (see 4chan)
Still I'd like to have a choice in the matter lemmy.ml unfortunately also has a lot of blocked instances, and alot of the other instances are overloaded right now. I'll probably wait a week or so until this craze blows over and sign up w/ a newer and smaller instance
I don't really get why the authors ideals and beliefs matter. For for-profit stuff, it does matter because I don't want to be supporting someone with that lifestyle or someone who actively wants me dead.
But for the open source stuff, he's not making any money off of me. And it's pretty safe since other people are vetting the code and they'll complain if something malicious is happening. In other words, since I am not contributing to the developer, his ideals don't really matter to me
I think the OP had a little passive agressiveness go over his head, then again I'm not the best at reading social cues (queues?)
Wait isn't lemmy.ml a general purpose server?
Holy shit this is the first time I've seen a paladins meme out in the wild!
