    Lemmy is a community hosted system, and a lot of the user base came here after leaving other platforms (mostly reddit) because of the owners making it worse and worse trying to copy other platforms like tiktok.

    And you’re wondering why everyone here has problems with capitalism.

    That’s not even mentioning the other huge problems with capitalism.

      What?

      FOSS is great, I like the idea of people from all over the world contributing towards software that benefits the user rather than the creator.

      I fail to see how that equates to “communism good” though. That’s a huge leap in thinking. Really weird when surely most people on here live and benefit from capitalist societies.

        The problem is that very few people make the decisions that impact everyone on the platform, which ends up meaning “capitalism bad”. Fixing that problem with a system that’s basically owned by users is sort of like making the system communist.

        surely most people on here live and benefit from capitalist societies.

        Sure they live in capitalist societies, but do they honestly benefit from it being capitalist more than they would from it being communist or socialist?
