Shittiest bird in the country.

Don’t be obtuse.

Demand as in want, not demand as in order.

We is the community.

And the majority of the community agrees. My voices and theirs reflect that.

Yeah pretty damning for how bad China is if that’s considered better.

No one is demanding them full stop. If you want to make us pay, we don’t want you. That’s an un-demand.

I’m one voice of a community. As you can tell from many of the other posts in here, it seems to be a majority sentiment on the majority leftist Fediverse.

No one is demanding they work for us.

We’re demanding they don’t come here and demand money. If they don’t want to provide content for free like the rest of us, we don’t mind them not being here.

Banned in Brazil, forced to pay 10% of global earnings per day until stopping misinformation posting in Australia.

Sure it’s the people latching and trying to extract blood (money) from us the content creators.

If Lemmy or Reddit was simply a list of shared URLs without user interactions no one would use these sites.

Small communities being run and paid for by self owned admins is nothing new and with how cheap it all is these days is even less of an issue.

If you really need donations, there are a million ko-fi like services.

And to Lucas’ credit he told a new and interesting story.

Hollywood just remakes shit these days.

Yeah that’s why I’m telling them to fuck off.

And some of the people are tired of capitalism being injected into everything.

Why can we not just have a space where people can be people without monetising it?

Fuck off.

Stop monetising everything, let us just enjoy our space without injecting business into it.

You can’t freely compete with near slave labor conditions and zero environmental regulations. . .

China makes the US look like the EU in comparison for those things.

Uh yes it does.

I’ve let the corporations spend the time, money, and resources to train a model.

They get zero benefit when I run it locally. I get all the benefit.

Oh nice you made it!
