Better than the burning garbage inferno that is xitter.

Well said, and well put. Sometimes it feels a little lonely on Lemmy and the fediverse, but I feel good contributing to a decentralized web.

I’m gonna shill for FreshRSS and Feed Me. Been a fantastic combination so far.

Self hosting FreshRSS allows me to curate shit I care about. Even better, it’s private aggregation. Sometimes though, I miss the conversation around these topics. For that, Lemmy exists.

So I was listening to a Bloomberg Tech Podcast about this. Someone from some random media group actually said “consumer demand for ad supported content over netflix’s usual high production value dramas is up”

For some reason, that statement was both incredibly threatening and incredibly ominous

I would laugh if only this wasn’t a terrifying plausibility. Imagine you have pneumonia and need a chest x-ray to confirm that was denied because you were out of network. Imagine there is no recourse because all customer service has been outsourcedto a very friendly chat bot who will kindly tell you ‘DENIED’ after arguing with it for 30 minutes.
