There's Marxist-Lenninists, and there's Lenninist-Marxists, and both groups hate each other.... Much like the Monty Python sketch...

I found out that https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2009/10/07/the-gervais-principle-or-the-office-according-to-the-office/ explains a lot of the dysfunctions that one finds in an office / corporate environment.
Luckily I work in a jurisdiction that would tear the whole C-team a new one if that happened.
Capitalism is relatively good, gives performance & frugality incentives. Unrestrained late-stage capitalism... not so much. Think of it like oxygen. At 21% you're great (and need it to live), at 90%+ you spontaneously combust.
In part you can see this already - there are a bunch of servers that most lemmy instances have defederated from. In these cases information flow is one way - f.e. lemmmy.world doesn't get any updates from foo.baz, doesn't provide search results, communities, etc.
Subscription would make sense when the added value you provide is 1) availability guarantees, 2) performance guarantees, 3) membership guarantees, 4) moderation / content filtering options
Man, I've been on unix systems since, oh, 1994, but I've never messed with my .inputrc ... may need to take the dive....
I’m not a fan of the idea of safe spaces
You probably haven't been in a space where you haven't felt unsafe.
I like the wild and free frontier internet, and Lemmy was feeling like that.
I would disagree somewhat. Lemmy right now has the same feeling as Reddit during the Digg exodus, but the unwashed masses have already started the Eternal September.
More like, they de-federated because the moderation load became extreme, so they're now disconnecting and reasessing.
I think this is something that will make more sense with time; Even new R is confusing when compared to old R.
Reddit OTOH was a good place to discover other things organically (not the enshittification attempt "other people liked that sub" interjections). But the only thing I miss is a way to group my subscriptions.
Currently Lemmy is getting up to speed, and the discussion quality has already started to drop; we'll see whether communities can police themselves.
So as long as you got yours, everyone else can get bent?
