I'm not saying that with hindsight at all. lol, I pointed this major inconsistency out on reddit a while back and got downvoted to hell, because the people on /r/antiwork have a bad track record when it comes to being self aware.

I generally don't trust corporations, because in the end, they either get bought out or eventually go corrupt. Hell, when they go public, corruption is almost inevitable, because at that point their end goal of generating growth at all costs becomes ingrained. Reddit is no different. I expect the same thing to happen to Discord now that they've gone public too.

That's why I want to place faith in open source products and services like Linux and Lemmy. Not one person can control them.

Also, what does anything I said have to do with sticking your head in the sand?
