What region is the midwest.social server running in?
(lemmy.world)
Reddit: "Subreddits are for the community of reddit users who rely on them."
Community of reddit users: "We think the sub should stay private, and if you force it open, we'll spam sexy John Oliver and porn."
Reddit: "wait no not like that"
This message is mind-blowingly tone deaf.
I kinda dig this new (compared to Reddit) "friendly competition" dynamic between servers.

After experiencing the death of two "power to the people" platforms due to profit-driven VC-backed corporate meddling, here's hoping the third platform is the charm Lemmy & the fediverse.
I'm convinced the extreme inflation post-COVID was caused by greedy companies realizing that many working-class families had managed to save and build a nest-egg during quarantine, and that they could jack up prices on necessities to bleed them all dry.
If inflation had been the result of wage growth increasing the price of labor, profit margins wouldn't have soared they way they did.
