Even then, how many people actually left their Twitter accounts?

I can’t tell how many times I’ve seen people say “I’m leaving Twitter” only to come back after a month

That’s the normal stance on Lemmy.

It was founded by communists, so you’d better get used to it

There are a lot of artists on pixelfed, but lack of an algorithm makes finding them very difficult

1. Because historically this has been ineffective. Nobody knew Harry Potter or hunger games would become so popular. Nobody could have predicted Godzilla movies would make such a comeback. That’s why you need more than one creator or entity to produce such things

2. In their own personal projects of course. But if you want a musician to do music for your project or you want to use an artist for something, they’ll inevitably ask for something in exchange.

3. How would they decide what gets produced and what doesn’t? Which clothing brands get funding and which ones don’t? Which authors receive money for their books and which ones don’t? Which YouTubers and streamers? Inevitably you’ll have a shortage of products because trends change easily and it’ll take time for the central government to adapt.

1. Not going to work unless the government has somehow unlimited resources. Otherwise why would they spend money and resources on something they don’t know how popular would it be?

2. What reward do those independent creators receive in exchange of doing their art? Do they just work for free?

3. And sometimes they succeed and other times they don’t. In a planned economy you’d essentially be stuck with whatever the government monopoly has decided to manufacture and you won’t have any other choice.

Corporations are run very differently from countries.

What happens when you don’t like the product that the state is offering?

What about independent artists and creators?

Figuring out what things people will like is next to impossible.

Non market economies are never going to work, because you’ll be essentially creating one giant monopoly and leaving people without the possibility of doing things differently

What happens when you don’t like the product the state offers?

What if you discover a way of doing things more efficiently?

What about independent artists and creators?

And that’s not getting into how unpredictable people are, products that have been predicted to fail end up becoming very successful, and the opposite also happens

“Tankies”

The irony with this is that Lemmy was founded by communists and it follows a lot of communist principles.

People expect to pay a carpenter or a plumber for their services, why shouldn’t entertainers and content creators be allowed to get paid for their work?

It is kinda bad. Especially when it comes to finding content or getting noticed

Which is why it’s a big irony when people come to Lemmy to complain about communism/socialism.

Like, man, you are on a decentralized network run by volunteers who don’t want to be monetized. You want to enjoy the benefits of socialism but at the same time complain about how bad it is and promote capitalism.

Also a bad thing.

Not sure why the moment you criticize democrats they assume you support the other side

And this is why democrats lost and will keep losing.

They can’t be criticized or get called out for supporting a genocide.

It is the bare minimum. They can’t even do that. They want unconditional support and loyalty, but won’t put any effort into accomplishing anything.

Genocide Joe’s bootlicker is hurt…

In the Kamala timeline, Israel keeps genociding the Palestinians while the democrats try to do a lot of mental gymnastics to try to paint it as a good thing

Meanwhile democrats now:

Democrats were more then happy to demonize people who supported Palestine.

In fact, they were happily denying the genocide and telling everyone to shut up about it

You weren’t paying enough attention then

I like how the people that a year ago were telling you to shut up about Palestine because it was hurting Biden are now trying to guilt trip you about Palestine
