  • EDIT: did not know about the allegations from the former employee and it just saddens me. I was only aware of the cooling block and it’s auctioning when I wrote this.

    This thread you made is cringe. Grow tf up and try to have some understanding for once in a while.

    Big corporations will always pull fake apologies and complain that consumers are beligerent little hotheads who’s opinion doesn’t matter in the long run. You’re proving their point right now.

    But if say LTT actually does pull out of this amicably and their words are followed by prompt action that remedies the situation, we can in turn look at Intel, AMD, Nvidia and the likes and say “see? That’s how it’s done”.

    As tech jesus himself said in his expose video is that we all make mistakes.

    Do not attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity, and the way LMG has been working has been stupid.

    Don’t give the bastards an inch, I understand. But let us be clear about who the bastards are and I still don’t think LMG has gone over to the side of evil.

    Now they’re stepping back, taking the time to make amens (I hope they really give that company they shafted a much needed boost for instance, as a bare minimum) and we should be here for that.

    If you’re just here to whine, fine. But don’t think you’re adding to the conversation or saying anything meaningful, because you are in fact just trolling.

    Again, try and have some understanding. It’s very important for us to do that, because secterianism and feudes will in the end hurt the community, and also the consumer, because we have to stay on top of this.



  • Fríggin’ finally. Talk to some of the fediverse people on Matrix or Discord regarding monetization and they’ll lose their tiny little minds.

    The most belligerent ones seems like a bunch of anarchists and tankies who couldn’t give a flying crap about independent or small businesses, such as content creators, all the while forcing content creators to stay on the large platforms (like YouTube, Patreon, etc) unknowingly going nowhere.

    The fediverse needs to spearhead ethical monetization, and no: relying on the “honour system”, unlimited CC distribution and attribution while hoping you’ll get money through BitBucket donations is not a way to pay rent. It’s yee olde “trust me bros”, but instead of massive corporations, it’s a boys club of ideologically finagling molluscs.

    Give me exclusive (or locked content), direct donation functions and subscription functions. Build it, and they will come. Ignore it, and most likely some unethical businesses will co-opt everything (like Meta) and just steamroll the whole movement.

    Be anti-capitalist. That’s fine. But don’t be one of those guys who think you’re just one day away from the revolution. That’s dumb. Let’s bring monetization to the fediverse!
