But there’s just no way Reddit NEEDS to be unprofitable. Lemmy is not exactly profitable, but because it’s not bloated it can run on very little money. And it accomplishes the same as Reddit. Why can’t we have nice things?
woah woah buddy don’t go pokin the 'bear, unless you want an inbox full of full-throated explanations of what communism actually is, vs whatever your opinion might be. I’ll restrict my diatribe to explain that one thing commies understand very well is the profit-motive based policies of todays world.
The difference between you and I is probably a pretty small one, really. One of us has read a bit about what communism aspires to be as a system from the folks who tried to make it happen, and the history of propaganda and outright war against its very existence.
oops! well your english was good enough to fool me into thinking you were a native speaker, so take it as a compliment
Oh and if someone tries to spam me, report it is
Spam? No, you will get lots of responses from commies in here for insinuating “they don’t get something” is all i am telling you, and a bunch of pissed off bears calling you a jerk for being ignorant will not be enough to convince a mod to remove them for you.
I think mostly our difficulty is the language barrier. Welcome to lemmy! Have yourself a good day.
reddit relies on user generated content, if you make it paid there will be a fraction of the content there is currently.
Communists don’t understand that.
I can understand it very well. For-profit ideology has crippled public infrastructure in almost every country implementing neoliberal policies. Enshittification is what happens when profit-seeking takes priority over everything else.
Also, everyone on hexbear is a communist or at the very least left-leaning.

Excuse me.
Hexbear is not German. Hexbear servers are located on French soil and we’re all French libs.

Hahaha The part about all of us being French liberals is debatable.
But our servers are located on French soil, true story.
How dare you call us Germans. Gross.
