Mr Beast uses the revenue he got from YouTube views and donates them. Which he then videos and create more revenue. Not a bad business model if you ask me. He wasn’t even rich to begin with. His assets and wealth all started from YouTube.
I wonder how well connected and rich Elon is to insulate him from consequences. Many people who have done as idiotic mistakes as he did have gone bankrupt or have been shunned already.
People don’t realise this…
“The free market can regulate according to my own pricing and the cartel’s.”- a CEO
My coworkers talk about various TV shows and movies. I may not be able to keep up with the shows and miss out on the discussions, but fuck FOMO.
This might work but on the other hand, the brand name “X” doesn’t have a nice ring for the younger generation unlike TikTok or even Vine. “X” is so… Gen X…(sorry, boomer for the young 'uns for everything before 2010).

Who woulda thunk Lemmy users is a bunch of tech nerds!
Parents could not keep up with fast pace of emerging technologies.
I’m not defending the ban on porn, I’m just saying.
Yeah, some instances turned to be haven for these tankies. It took me a while before I realised that lemmy.ml is pretty much run by them.
I’d say a left-wing activist type
Which is cringe inducing in looking for certain types of left-wingers. There are more tankies here than in other Internet forums I have seen. I’d be rich for penny I get for meeting tankies in Lemmy. They call out American imperialism, but then simp for Russia and China. Two wrongs don’t make a right and they expect to have one but not the other. Though, I wouldn’t be surprised if Russian bots have also infiltrated Lemmy to sow disinformation.

Doesn’t sound different from the early days of Reddit.
I think people should read more about media theory. Especially “The Medium is The Message”.
I think people miss the keyword “social”.
Well, people have been sending mails before just for fun. Hence the phenomenon of “penpals”.
No matter how much you rationalise it, forum is still a social media. You are still socialising after all-- in a medium of communication. You can still post pictures in forums if you want, but modern social platforms just have better UI and convenience to post videos and photos than older forums.
Don’t let others know of your hiding spot.
Not banning a group of people that is intolerant and promotes killing people they don’t like is totally a good idea. That worked well before…
If anyone can’t tell, my first paragraph is sarcastic.
I am aware people outside of Europe and Rwanda are absolutist on free speech but that I think it is because they have not experienced first hand what it’s like when hate speech becomes unbridled. It’s a classical liberal value to promote free speech at all cost, believing that good ideas will filter out from a stream of bad ones because they believe humans are inherently rational. Well, for many in Germany and Rwanda before, it made sense for them to kill “others” because those at the top said so. I am not going to call old school liberals naive, because of course they did not foresee free speech morphing into hate speech and then making unspeakably evil action into reality centuries later.
As a side note, the US actually thought about electronically interfering a Rwandan-government run radio station that propagates dehumanisation of Tutsis, but the US opted not to out of principle for freedom of speech. That radio station contributed to fomenting hate that led to the Rwandan genocide.
So, no-- an intolerant being intolerant has no place in society. Giving the intolerant platform will eventually stamp down others and ultimately free speech and liberty. Banning Nazis in a platform is no brainer. Like, after all they have done, why on earth would the intolerant be tolerated?
There are still propagadists here, and they are leaving no stones unturned by covering as many platforms as possible.
Thankfully, the only ebooks I have only gotten so far are classics from Gutenberg website.
Ever since Twitter became X, I don’t think the instance has ever worked for me.
