and because they are not publicly traded company.

I actually don’t think it works. It’s better if we retaliate in the same way Israel does.

What 7 October taught is the hypocrisy of our leaders. I am specifically talking about Muslim leaders and Erdogan, but in general I think this is also true.

In my country, we had been saying that the government was doing business with Israel, even though they were condemning on every public forum. It took only 1 journalist until the whole public saw the hypocrisy. 1 journalist against all TV channels and internet trolls. (Here 95% of all TV channels are sponsored by government).

I remember telling this years ago, yet this man, who also had to leave the country for his other journalist work said it at the right time with the right tools.

So, what I get this is, don’t stop telling the truth. Even though nobody listens now, people will when the right time comes.

All I can say is that I manage a team of people and frequently get the following two messages: “I don’t want to come to the office. I feel very isolated working by myself at home - oh my mental health.” What are we supposed to do with this?

So your team of people work in the office? And they rather work at home? What’s exactly your point?

Exactly. I think it has to do with the old way of thinking. They might think that working in office is more productive.

I’m curious to see if AI tech can actually help fight some of the bullshit out there

Those AI are the best ones to produce fake scientific papers. It’s a cat and mouse game again. Those who can detect bullshit can produce the best bullshit.

I recently watched an interview with an academic woman who trolled the academia with completely wrong things in his papers, and yet it was approved. Academics, and scientific data is not so objective as it may seem from the outside.

A future change in leadership could very easily lead to it going public and then all the regular bullshit follows. Don’t just assume it’ll always be great; always be ready to jump ship.

Ok, but what has that anything to do with what I said?

The point still stands though, you can easily filter out anything you don’t want to see.

But I doubt the same would apply if it was owned by shareholders.

It isn’t wealth that breaks or makes it. The system, and in this case the shareholding system makes it or breaks it. Valve owner Gabe is insanely rich (in the billions I assume) yet, because the system he put up, it is consumer friendly.

The system is the one, not the people.

FTC

what does that mean?

As a person that recently moved on from reddit to Lemmy was content. And that is made by very low amount of users. Of course there needs to be people we need to attract, but I am at the moment satisfied with the communities that I subscribed to. Like I said, very low amount of users are the content creators.

Also, to be clear, to grow just for the sake of it without good moderation will make the communities toxic, and that is what I’m afraid of.

Why do we need to federate. I read in the blog of the developers somewhere that the goal isn’t to become big just for the sake of it. So why?

If someone wants to join facebook, just go to that webpage, and if you want lemmy, then come here. I don’t get why we have to have a centralized social media platform for all the internet…
