what a petty little bitch

“It’s what plants crave.”

Second biggest mistake next to them working for law enforcement.

The fact that they compare this to POLICE budgets says volumes.

Who actually cares about this pair of sad losers?

hell yeah they are 🤘

money isn’t real

You want a corporation as your landlord and community organizer?

I want to believe this is good, but something about it smells of late stage capitalism.

bingo

yes, it does video or voice chat.

Amen.

no.

sure, it’s nuanced, but imho there’s a difference between actively helping and propping up vs providing free software. when you have active contracts with entities that discriminate, it becomes a different ethical stance than simply building FOSS.

As far as I know Lemmy didn’t profit off of making their instance, nor do they have contracts with law enforcement to implement it for them. The same cannot be said for Matrix Foundation.

there’s a subtle difference, but if i’m following your logic, then weapons manufacturers have no moral/ethical responsibility for enabling war to happen? if you made a knife—harmless on its own, and then gave the knife to a murderer who then killed someone with it, are you not enabling?

yeah i can understand that viewpoint, and for all the matrix users i hope that remains true. maybe i'm just jaded, but i've been around long enough to know that just because a company isn't a complete pile of shit now doesn't mean they won't be in the future—ESPECIALLY when you can see the company they keep (and defend).

idk what their agreement is with them, but i’d venture to guess that they’re not not complicit.
