How to Kill a Decentralised Network (such as the Fediverse) (web.archive.org)

Fediverse can only win by keeping its ground, by speaking about freedom, morals, ethics, values. By starting open, non-commercial and non-spied discussions. By acknowledging that the goal is not to win. Not to embrace. The goal is to stay a tool. A tool dedicated to offer a place of freedom for connected human beings. Something that no commercial entity will ever offer.

Why does commercialized discussions are not considered freedom?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I want to be free to avoid those discussions and not have them forced upon me. Call it freedom from commercialised discussions. It's not something I want to see or engage with, so I would rather not use a platform with ads and such than tolerate them. If Lemmy becomes ad infested at any point, I'm going to go touch grass instead.

I see, how about a commercialized community? Then then you can have the freedom to unsubscribe/hide/avoid it.
