It's less that they're big, but old.

Why do they go through the effort of banning people from individual communities when site banning should be enough? It honestly just comes across as vindictive.

Which would also be a weird claim given the state of Linux YouTube.

EDIT: I see that the “fediverse” link for posts has been removed. I posted this to lemmy.ml from a lemmy.world account and there’s no way for me to get the lemmy.ml link now. And when I crosspost it it shows a lemmy.world link instead of the lemmy.ml one. I think this should be changed [back].

That's how it's always worked??? The fediverse button goes to the canonical source, which is the post on the poster's instance. The button doesn't show up because you're already looking at the source.

Most of the support staff is their customers and users actually.

It's not users that process refund request, recover your account if e.g. you've lost your 2FA method, or any of the other innumerable things you might need to contact Steam support for. I don't think it's unreasonable to include the staff that do this as part of their workforce.

This number doesn't seem to include support staff who iirc are contract workers so might not count as "employees".

But we already have a carpet museum.

I haven't seen that myself, but I'm sure some of them exist and they're dumb for thinking that. The person I'm replying to, though, is clearly taking the position that anti-Zionism = antisemitism.

What do you mean by "pro Jewish"? I doubt a comment like "Jewish people are human beings that deserve respect" would get you downvoted.

If our politicians are already bought and sold to the point that calling for these industries to be regulated is pointless, then why would politicians listen to our calls for 'open weights by default'.

If we don't have the power to stop generative AI, then what makes you think we have the power the change copyright law? Generative AI uses up huge amount of power and water to the point of causing issues for national infrastructure. There is a clear climate case to be made against generative AI and unlike copyright law the public actually care about climate change.
