Hastur

You mean vigilante-style attacks on healthband life because you oppose their world view? You Germans have come full circle.

You have to realize that there is no spoon

Quite hyperbolic. Sorry but I don’t see a point for further engagement, I don’t see me your you benefitting from continuing this exchange. You don’t want to engage nor reason, you like to deflect. Which is a fine strategy to look smart, but it doesn’t further the discussion.

On a personal note; Find an instance that doesn’t give you grievances.

You might not want to look into most voting mechanisms used in representative democracies…

Voting is voting. Nobody was talking about fair, equal etc votes.

Right now the way votes are cast it imperfect and can be exploited by using sockpuppet accounts, but this can change at any time and switch to a polling service. Is that better? Well maybe, electronic voting is hard.

But as I said: Your issue is a non-issue, the inherent nature of the Fediverse makes it irrelevant, just switch instance, self-host… There’s no exclusivity here. You’re not the customer or the product here, you’re a contributor and you can contribute from anywhere.

You see a problem where there is none: Don’t like voting, find an anarchist lemmy instance. Don’t like this either? Open your own. That’s the beauty of the Fediverse, you’re not prisoner of a centralised platform, the same service, the same information can get to you via any other instance.

Now let’s have a good and narrow definition of corporate instance and we might agree on that.

A council of trusted people. I’ve seen that somewhere else before. How were these people called… Ah yes: Sowiet.

How about embrace and enshittyfy like Google Talk did with XMPP?
