Checking out Lemmy and looking to get my reddit subs here. Can’t deal with C-Suite greed ruining things any longer. Aside from our favorite companies and now reddit what other recent companies have you seen fall prey to short term gains?

    Sonys new playstation handheld ‘project q’ looks to be a money grab after seeing the switch and steam deck make bank. It only streams from a ps5 so I see no use case other than to lock you into their ecosystem even more.

    Almost every company ever. Most aren’t quite as public about it. A notable one would be when the world’s richest man bought a social media company, lost a bunch of money, and is trying to get people to pay for things that used to be included. So far I like lemmy thought. No risk of corporate overlords screwing us. The no ads is really nice. The userbase is still small and with multiple instances it can be a little intimidating for new people but I could see it becoming bigger.
