They're just gonna have to leave whenever Cara makes some dumb decision. It's the capitalist app cycle.
Whether it's "capitalist" or not doesn't matter. You could have government owned/created apps that make dumb decisions as well.
At least with capitalism you have the option to go somewhere else when a dumb decision is made.
Most capitalist apps dont allow you to fork the code.
Lemmy, for example, is not owned by anyone and can altered if the main lemmy devs did something dumb.
Of course you already know this, its why you are here. You fled capitalism (Reddit) like the rest of us.
No one flees capitalism. Stop talking like a Marxist. It's not possible to have communism in any guise without it collapsing. Exchanging goods and services for money incentives people to produce more. What you're talking about is corporate greed
What you're describing here is commerce, which existed looong before capitalism. What you describe as "corporate greed" is capitalism
Ever heard of open source?
When capitalists say nobody would work under communism, they really mean that capitalists would never work under communism.
But communism is a replacement for capitalism, just like capitalism replaced feudalism. It's something that will come with time and technology, not something that can be forced to happen.
