Ironically, it's free!
And nothing of value was lost that day.
if they did that on Fedi, they'd get the exact same treatment, and in addition to that people would call for defederating the instance they'd signed up on.
I asked for it to be in sh.itjust.works' bylaws. No commercial spam.
I feel like corporations look at Lemmy/The Fediverse the same way Mufasa looked at the place where the hyenas lived.
meanwhile i look at Lemmy/Fediverse the same way e621 looks at the place where the hyenas lived
I mean, good? I guess they'd bring some user growth, but they'd just post their brand stuff that I don't imagine most people really want in their feeds, and there's the risk that they end up getting favored treatment on larger instances by donating more than a typical user can or paying the moderators there.
My thoughts exactly.
There are vanishingly few places on the Internet that are not inundated with constant ads, promotions, astroturfing, and commercials.
It's why I like it here.
Sure I don't want ads pumped into my feed but some corporations can do social media well. I used to follow Yorkshire Tea on twitter who were generally pretty funny, I don't drink even drink their teas.
Also way too many corps don't have up to date information on their website and their twitter profile has more recent info. The lack of that on any FOSS/decentralized social media means that some people just have to keep a centralized account open.
@[email protected] that's the main thing for me too. That news orgs, political agencies, and corporations use Xitter to communicate is the real travesty.
Yes, we want to build a social network free of the corporate hold so we shouldn't be eager to welcome corporation.
Nah, defederation means we couldn't bully them anymore.
is bullying worthier than having a peace of mind?
Bullying unethical companies is peace of mind.
Bullying will continue untill moralle improves !
carry on then!
call for defederating the instance they'd signed up on.
Lululemmy.com is still around though.
Okay Lululemmy is a great name actually.
Bluesky isn’t fediverse
This is why companies should never set themselves up walled gardens of communication. The execs probably had no clue how hated their company was, because they just see the sales and stock values. Then the minute they actually step into the real world, they get smacked with the dildo of consequence.
Everyone has hated Adobe for several decades now, and they have only made more evil decisions since. Surely even if the Adobe offices are a little bubble of misinformation, everyone in that company must know they are extremely hated.
Pretty sure this late into the game Adobe know full well that people hate them, I think they underestimated the level of corporate greed and enshittification that Bluesky has and will return when things are more “corporate friendly”
They trying to engage in BlueSky is evidence they didn't know.
It's surprising to me too.
Is everyone friendly to Adobe on other platforms?
They're flooded by the bots, or filtered, on other platforms. Couple that with Bluesky being a new platform with a decidedly anti-corporate user bias, and the message ratios change dramatically.
Gotcha I was confused how this could be a surprise to them lol
“Hey, we’re Adobe! We’re here to connect with the artists, designers, and storytellers who bring ideas to life,” read Adobe’s first post which has since been deleted. “What’s fueling your creativity right now?”
Protip: if you're as hated as Adobe, don't ask open-ended questions.
Fuck adobe, they got what they deserved.
I don't understand the connection between the TOP TEXT and the BOTTOM TEXT. Could someone please explain?
There isn't one. The exact same thing happened to every brand that tried to market to Tumblr users as well, and it's as easy to set up and use a Tumblr account as it is a Twitter account.
Becoming unmarketable is not the same thing as having a difficult account creation process.
More like the fediverse has a highpass filter that blocks people who probably shouldn't be on social media in the first place.
Hilarious 😂
