Another pedantic tankie argument. Just because something is not being exchanged doesn't mean it can't.

Regardless originally I said the network effect had value, not that it was a commodity. And the VALUE cannot be replicated by building another instance. Therefore the users do not own THE VALUE that they produce.

Lemmy is not based Communist principles is what I'm arguing please read. It's not based on Communist principals because Reddit nor FOSS were which is the architecture Lemmy copied.

I have read Marx, unlike you who's just learned about Lenin through memes.

The network effect is a commodity. That's why X and Facebook fight for users and put them in walled gardens.

Their valuations are based engagement. The most powerful and successful capitalist enterprises in history are all social media companies but okay discussion isn't a commodity. How myopic can you be.

Kind of but not really. They're state capitalists.

This is such a typical liberal answer. The value isn't just created by the users' post but by the collective network effect of all the users being in one place. That is not replicated when a new instance is created. Tankies know this which is why they're acting like old Reddit mods with retaliatory style moderation.

And Stallman was the person that invented FOSS, and he's stated over and over he was not following any type of Communist principles. In fact FOSS programmers explicitly retain private property rights of software. It's how they enforce the share alike clauses. If FOSS was built on some type of Communist principles it wouldn't allow the bourgeois to build billion dollar enterprises on software they pay the writers nothing for.

It does EL-0-L when the managers do not answer to users who create the actual value. And surprise surprise you have widespread complaints about heavy handed censorship on tankie run instances on anything that hurts their feelings.

Bruh, Lemmy is a federated clone of Reddit. And tankies did not come up with the Fediverse or Reddit. If anything Lemmy is closer to a classic capitalist structure with the communities being owned by the admin (boss). Users have no control of any community no matter how much they contribute. I guess since tankies are state capitalists anyway they feel right at home.

Yeah...as commander and chief of the US armed forces he's completely powerless in stopping the flow of US weapons to Israel.

They do anything before they pay people more.

If only he were in some kind of position of power to do something about it.

Honestly even if Microsoft were trustworthy this is too much power for anyone. I actually like the recall feature but it would require a fully open source code to trust.

Seething

That and building convincing personas for propaganda and PR. An account agreeing with pro corporate policies is more convincing if it has a long post history.

That's wild, I've said so much zeisty stuff with my account but it's still not banned.

Nah, that's the whole point of federation. To keep it from becoming Reddit. The problem with Reddit isn't that it's big, it's that it's highly censored on a wide variety of topics that aren't anywhere near offensive but simply counter to Western hegemony.

I was referring more to the battery management software.

Isn't this illegal?

Electric vehicles were always supposed to be cheaper than ICEs. They're just giant batteries. All the sophistication is in the software which is trivial to reproduce.

So restore the rights of millions of people that you stripped away and not just your party toadie.
