Oh boy, reddit is gaining in numbers on lemmy it seems. They can't have folks supporting lgbtq, amirite? That sounds just awful. Fuck people looking for acceptance and inclusivity. The "average hater" (not average lemmy user, let's get that straight) doesn't want to hear about that.

Let's keep this hate off Lemmy, OP.

If you're seeing that much noise, your tolerance is way too low and sounds more like you just are upset at seeing those opinions in general. Please tell me more about how you don't support those topics. I'm sure conversing with someone who hates an entire minority group is a fantastic conversationalist.

Enshitification is referring to something extremely specific and coined by Cory Doctorow. You can't just make up a new definition for it. That's a semantic fallacy.

This post seems like it was made by an "average reddit user" and not Lemmy.

I haven't seen that at all. Seems odd to suggest it's a problem on Lemmy.

Nah, Amazon is super easy to dispute purchases. Hell, you can probably just tell Amazon directly that it was a fraudulent purchase and they'll return it, at least for smaller purchases or infrequently enough.

if you save your payment info on any site (especially sketchy ones) you can get a “you just bought with no returns”

There are protections against this. The CVC is not recorded with "saved payment info" and if a seller accepts a payment with no CVC, it's much much easier to dispute it with the CC company.

They'd have to do best effort against charging devs for pirated copies.

Telemetry is also easily blocked. As a business, I'd trust that a lot less. It's why many enterprise licenses are simply self reported. The punishment isn't worth lying enough to make a difference.

Most companies would trust devs as the devs are not big enough to survive a legal fight they'd certainly lose with prejudice, meaning they'd pay court costs as well.

There is no way they'll just make up a bunch of invoices for small developers. That would be too time consuming, plus they'd need to show reasonable effort in determining the invoice. It's best to just let the devs do all the work with the fear that an audit can cost them so much more money than they'd save if they lied.

I can't reason someone out of a position they didn't use reason to arrive at. That's an unfalsifiable claim. Yes, the US does things that won't hurt them and has been known to do things that help them. I'm sure you've done things that is in your best interest as well. That's a far cry from proof of terrorism. It's absolute insanity and conspiracy theory to make that jump. I'm not going to continue this discussion.

Thats a different problem and not even new. It's not even the same problem you referenced as the "key" part of the problem. Algorithms providing content is behind every mainstream platform ever.

I didn't say MSN is flawless. Just that people are really bad at determining responsibility for an issue.

They're also really bad at delineating the nuance of different root problems apparently.

MSN didn't write this. They are entirely responsible for that odd travel article not too long ago, but MSN is mostly just a news aggregator.
