One thing to consider is that the CEO and other people in his position are the people who have been working over the last half century or so to create the system that allows him to do this. It's right to blame the system, but it's easy to forget the system is made and run by actual people. To start to dismantle the system it will involve taking away the power of people like this, which could be seen as demonizing them.
I love this bit from the article:
To a request for comment, X only sent Ars an auto-response, saying, "Busy now, please check back later." (To be fair, in this case "check back later" is a good summary of what happened.)
Don't worry, it's just a Team Fortress 2 reference: https://youtu.be/PLmrdZVvtT8?si=CpKmRpdGU-l3aDa1
Yeah exactly. It does have some features that require integration with the init system, which systemd obviously supports, but it could be used independently of systemd quite happily, and other init systems could easily support those integrations.
Is the bottom picture AI upscaled? It looks way crisper than I remembee that meme ever looking
Had to find out what this was from. Its a webcomic called Wormworld Saga, and it looks pretty great!
Its not a bad comparison. Sure, some details might differ, but the underlying concept of a build that only uses the open source code is the same.
Hey, removing this as off-topic. A community like [email protected] might be better for these types of questions.

Steve Huffman mad about blackout, wants to make it easier to remove moderators.
Moderators from popular Reddit communities say they plan to extend their blackout protests indefinitely.

> The funniest part of the article is how he's slamming the actions of unpaid moderators while saying "they’re mad because they used to get something for free, and now it’s going to be not free".
Hey! Thanks for your question. There wasn't before, but there's now [email protected]. The plan is to have a stickied post with a list of recommended communities for new users.
That's great, thanks for starting the community! It's good to have place where the content accessible for people to still engage with it.
We'll find a way to promote the visibility of the community so that it can start to become a hub. Probably in a list of recommended communities stickied to the front page.
Hey! This post is not specifically related to the lemmy.world instance. From now on, posts such as these will be removed, in order for the community to stay on topic. However, as this post has a relatively high engagement, I'll just lock it for now.
Hey! I'm keeping this as it's sharing knowledge with new users from Reddit. However, in future please find another community to post this on, because it is not related to the lemmy.world instance specifically.

Community moderation policy
Hey there lemmings!
It's your friendly neighbourhood Sun-Spider here. I recently volunteered as a mod on this community, so I just wanted to introduce myself and let you know my plans.
Many of you will have seen that there are a lot of off-topic posts in this community right now. I suspect that new users, especially ones not yet familiar with how Lemmy and the fediverse work, are seeing it as a kind of default community or a place to generally discuss the world of Lemmy.
However, as it says in the sidebar, this is a community about the lemmy.world instance specifically. If it's going to serve as that, then it can't be drowned in off-topic posts.
To that end, I plan to start going through and removing posts that are not discussing this instance, with two exceptions.
Firstly, I know that some of these posts are providing good info to new users coming from Reddit, so I'd like to not take those down just yet. Since this is such a visible community, keeping them has value. Therefore highly upvoted posts that are specifically for newcomers from Reddit may get left.
Secondly, I know that removing posts with many upvotes and comments could be seen as overly harsh. While we don't have a karma system here, if you had a post that has done well then suddenly seeing it removed is painful. Therefore if a post is off topic, but is nonetheless highly upvoted, then I may instead simply lock the post. This preserves the content, but prevents further engagement. This should mean that it gradually falls off the front page, whose default sort is Active.
TLDR
- Posts that are not about the lemmy.world instance specifically will be removed, with the following exceptions:
- Some posts providing value to new users will be left
- Some posts with high engagement may be simply locked
Update
Check out the new communities [email protected] and [email protected]! These are intended to be a good home for a lot of the content that's getting removed/locked.
What icon should we have?
This community still needs an icon, and just the flag is boring. What does the community want to see?

Only On Tuesdays is a smaller channel I started following recently. I think his Character Crisis series is great content, and I thought it might be appreciated by people here.
