Businesses succeed by profiting. The most successful businesses of any time period are ones who maximise profits at all costs, including ethics.

There are a lot of arguments about more ethical businesses being the most viable longterm, but that sort of variable isn’t considered when the big businesses calculate their next move.

Almost none of the Tech Company leaders actually finished college, if somebody you know is calling them a genius then that person measures intelligence by profits. A very stupid person.

It’s the cultural equivalent to breaking into a museum to steal a recalled glow in the dark YoYo!™ and attempt to sell it to an ipad baby.

It’s not sane behavior.

Remade…?

But why?

If OP is actually looking for allies I can’t help but imagine the comedy drama of some guy getting tricked by a Chinese Psyop into going places and doing things because he thinks he’s a part of some sort of grass roots resistance lol.

“So when are we going to meet up?”

“It’s not safe right now, did you get my package?”

“Yeah, the one with the mandarin on the side?”

“Ignore that, it’s shipped from my brother in San Francisco.”

“That’s cool, my sister lives in LA.”

Lemmy.world is currently the most popular large instance, Lemmy.today is another one. There are A LOT of instances to pick from if you’d rather connect to one closer to your region or attuned to your personal tastes, and they can all access posts from other instances so if you think an instance is run by people you can trust then feel free to make an account there.

To add onto Pug Jesus’ explanation, each instance is a self-hosted server separate from all the others. That means they can potentially be removed or re-added to the fediverse at any moment, they all follow their own rules so the only fediverse-wide restrictions are that the instance isn’t so insufferable that every other instance blocks them or defederates from them.

EDIT: A list of known servers HERE

Nuh uh, shows up fine for me

Some people dislike bots

Especially bots that can do the equivalent of a very simply google search.

Idk about that, I’d like to see some stats on how many GOP congressmen endorse Harris.

Rats are great swimmers, if Trump won they would instantly become loyal again.

Instances to avoid if you dislike censorship or state run propoganda:

Lemmy ml

Slrpnk net

Hexbear

Lemmygrad

Beehaw (not state run, but very “family friendly” strictness)

P.S. I’ve tested like 58 wizard swears over on 196 bahaj and they only censor Faggot, which is on brand.
