“Private equity always finds a way”-Jeff Goldblum

Its interesting that they plan to profit off of the Fediverse but they aren’t paying for running instances themselves. At least they aren’t now.

The only thing that is actually valuable in all this is the data generated by Fediversers themselves though, lets say 90 percent, and a nifty container around the content to make it more viewable/accessible/prettier, 10 percent.

They want to make profit off of memberships and probably ads, off of Fediversers content, and then they can leverage and monetize their new “social network” by some astronomical valuation in the market.

Good playbook, its been done many times now by Reddit, linkedin, Facebook, and all the rest, and maybe they will pull it off, but after more than 10 years of Social Media abuses, the Fediverse is filled with people who no longer want to be exploited in this way anymore. How about just paying for some instances, or supporting some FOSS projects already in the works?

The Fediverse is both everywhere and nowhere. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!

I just dmed you 20 Copybaras. Their will is senior to ours and they will not be denied.

Now I know who is behind it all

+1 for correct market timing. -2 for annoying vegans. +1 for supporting the mobile infantry.

The only fair way to handle this is for all admins to immediately turn over all passwords to the Crumbgrabber, who will act as an interface between the government and private sector interests in determining the value of each Lemmy user, and whether they are a fit candidate for the mobile infantry. Remember- only service guarantees citizenship.

YSK Federal Law prohibits the filtering of the word “crumbgrabber”.

Combine this with the worlds deepest goldmine and we have a winner.

AAAAAAAaaaaand… 97 percent of the FREEDOM.

My life has changed. Transformed. I can now go forth and multiply,

That’s one reason I love that there is no “karma” score on Lemmee. There’s less incentive to recycle old memes, shill for upvotes, etc. But yeah for propaganda purposes, it can totally be done, probably is being done right now.

Making a herculean effort to get this post back up to 0. Creating more accounts now.

Stick with the plan.
