While the researcher is someone with some really solid knowledge and experience I don’t think he was fair in his analysis.

Right? Lol

There are lot of people working for free to make it work by trying to improve it. It is easy to complain from the confort of my chair at home. And so society becomes more cursed each day.

I hear you, but what make me stick with Lemmy and try my best to make it work is the whole concept of decentralized social media. We can’t just handle the power back to big techs, see what facebook did in the whole trump election scandal. or what Twitter is becoming. The fediverse now is the only alternative we have, it is the last stand against a corporate controlled internet.

And I am tired to pretend social media does not dictates the real world trends, it does and it is here to stay. There is no more separation from irl and internet.
