The main thing investors do with technology is find something free and make a product out of it. This time they flipped the script by stealing, and I want these companies and investors to face consequences. I don't want all of humanity's creative works that have ever been posted online to be repurposed and repackaged by a new technology and then sold.

Why do you read Lemmy, while discounting the opinions and perspectives of other people here?
So the basics of what I've read is:
- Discord stores all messages and media. If you delete it, or delete your account, its still there.
- Discord does not SELL that data. Instead, they hand it over to the ad companies that are the shareholders of Discord.
- Discord has lots of security flaws that are abused by third parties all the damn time.
I know its different now because Discord has nitro and there are lots if good reasons to subscribe. But Discord ran without all if that subscriber funding and in that time they probably found ways to make money off of what resources they had at the time... Information.
Lemmy feels great. Discord alternatives, some of them feel OK and when I bring up issues with their performance I'm reminded they are open source.
Discord is spyware and all of my friends are the laziest most boring people for thinking they should spend their entire social lives on one app.
Please stop doing this.
This REALLY sucks and I have like 10 of these apps on my phone right now because I get everything from F-Droid on my otherwise standard android phone.
Okay, fair enough.
Anarchy requires the absence of a state... And private property... Anarchy is to the left of "workers siezing the means of production".
But anarcho-capitalists are, as you've said, only focusing on the economic system of their politics. If you ask them about the politics and government of their fantasy? Well, they all reveal a desire for a deeply coercive state. Anarchy, and also Libertarian, are words being co-opted.
I believe communication should not be a commodity. It should be FOSS. I believe discord is free because it feels like something that provides little to no value, and yet the company has shareholders and must provide value to them. Ridiculous.
