You literally left Reddit because of what capitalism did to it.

Yeah but capitalism also made reddit great, before making it terrible.

There’s a balance in there somewhere. What we got ain’t it tho.

@dartos @Awoo what about capitalism made it great ? It was the people that made it great imo it just came to be under capitalism

It just wouldn’t have existed at all without VC funding.

Lemmy exists now because Reddit already existed, built the model link sharing site, and over years of ad revenue and VC money, convinced communities to gather there and then convinced those same communities to move to lemmy
