I had to update the pic; forgot the biggest culprit -Microsoft. They got slapped with a fine of $731 million. I try not to think about this company at all but I had to fix it. The meme gods had to be appeased.
Also, I remember that Nextflix only bent the knee by agreeing to 30% of their content being local, but really tempted to add 'em.
Hopefully the Next Flex will be Netflix - for the meme-ability. Elon won’t do it, he would have already done. He is just exercising free speech, nothing more. If he does get in the ring, then I’ll join X 😬 & pay his subscription for a year. 👀

    Calling Lemmy a commercial failure shows a massive lack of understanding of even the basics of what Lemmy is.

        Lemmy is not a commercial project, you’re thinking about it the wrong way. It’s run for free by volunteers.

            Again, you’re still thinking about it the wrong way. This isn’t an organisation, dude. There is no product, there are no workers or employers. It doesn’t live or die. That’s the nature of the fediverse.

              Great explanation. On top of that, every open source program that is 10 yrs and older laughs out loud right now. Not everything needs commercial backing. Also, nobody said lemmy isn’t going to get fiancial support at some point.

                …lemmy was only ever intended to be a forum. And the CSAM problem is old news that was already fixed with an automatic black box solution.

                The fediverse will not die as long as there is even one person willing and capable of running an instance.

                Begone, Elon.
