Thing about rock bottom is you think you’ve hit it but then you find that you have a magical pickaxe that can dig past rock bottom

I don’t really have a direct reply to these ideas but I would like to point out an interesting example of a business model that addresses some of these concerns, that is the worker cooperative, where the workers have some portion of ownership of the company, either in revenue sharing or decision making.

Yes

The way it works is that there’s not one lemmy site, there’s many different sites, or “instances” that people can host on their own servers—lemmy.world and lemm.ee are two of these. The catch is that they are “federated”, meaning that a user in one instance can see, vote on, comment on, etc posts from another instance. That’s why you can be on lemmy.world and see posts from !memes@lemme.ml. So if lemmy.world goes down it’s as simply as typing in another instance to your address bar :^)

Seconding this. In addition to the accessibility, etc benefits, just think about the sheer amount of traffic/users that came from people googling a completely unrelated topic and having reddit pop up. Those are users that might not have otherwise found the platform.

Fursuits

…cosplayers

lol I don’t think most furries want to be talking animals any more than rpg players or cosplayers want to be fantasy characters. I’m sure some do but definitely not all

Yeah, jokes aside, I agree with that. I think it’s funny how people are as quick to label anyone supportive of anthro anything as a furry as they are to hate on actual furries themselves.
