Unfortunately, the time has come for me to leave Lemmy. Time will show where we all end up. I’ll see you in the future… maybe sooner than you think?
Edit: Follow up post is here. Don’t worry. You’re not getting rid of me that easy. I’m just switching to piefed.world
I will try to justify the hatred. I have no issue with them asking for money for a service. My issue is them building and adertising it as a free service. For years they ran it at a loss bank rolled by unlimited google dollars. It was impossible to compete with a company that makes no money and has no intention of making money. Then once they have 99% market share they turn around and use that stranglehold to raise prices on users. Year by year the cost keeps going up, the ads get longer and more frequent. Because where else can users go?
Its awful, I hate it and I cant support it.
