Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

But there's just no way Reddit NEEDS to be unprofitable. Lemmy is not exactly profitable, but because it's not bloated it can run on very little money. And it accomplishes the same as Reddit. Why can't we have nice things?
I'm curious about this, how can I help support lemmygrad/hexbear?
They have a Liberapay, check the donate link in the page footer.
ahhh, didn't see that before, thanks!
Communists don't understand that. Also, if you want something like Reddit to be profitable, just make it paid
reddit relies on user generated content, if you make it paid there will be a fraction of the content there is currently.
I can understand it very well. For-profit ideology has crippled public infrastructure in almost every country implementing neoliberal policies. Enshittification is what happens when profit-seeking takes priority over everything else.
Also, everyone on hexbear is a communist or at the very least left-leaning.
Oh I didn't know hexbear is communistic. I thought it's German or something. Now it all makes sense
How dare you call us Germans. Gross.
I'm sorry. I just saw this community only a few times and haven't seen the description yet
Excuse me.
Hexbear is not German. Hexbear servers are located on French soil and we're all French libs.
Lies
Hahaha The part about all of us being French liberals is debatable.
But our servers are located on French soil, true story.
And liberal death-cultists don't understand that not everything needs a profit motive at all costs, including the lives of those who toil for it but will never get to own it; see, I can do it too
woah woah buddy don't go pokin the 'bear, unless you want an inbox full of full-throated explanations of what communism actually is, vs whatever your opinion might be. I'll restrict my diatribe to explain that one thing commies understand very well is the profit-motive based policies of todays world.
The difference between you and I is probably a pretty small one, really. One of us has read a bit about what communism aspires to be as a system from the folks who tried to make it happen, and the history of propaganda and outright war against its very existence.
Mister, my English is not anywhere close to decent enough to understand most of the things you and the previous commenter said. I am not a communist. That's true. But I just didn't know (or didn't remember) it was a communistic community. I didn't mean to say that communism is wrong or anything like that in a communistic place. It would be ridiculous to do so, at least without serious training. And I could just make a mistake about you all too. Oh and if someone tries to spam me, report it is
oops! well your english was good enough to fool me into thinking you were a native speaker, so take it as a compliment
Spam? No, you will get lots of responses from commies in here for insinuating "they don't get something" is all i am telling you, and a bunch of pissed off bears calling you a jerk for being ignorant will not be enough to convince a mod to remove them for you.
I think mostly our difficulty is the language barrier. Welcome to lemmy! Have yourself a good day.
Thank you. Actually it's really nice that you're not being aggressive to me. There are a lot of people here (I think most of them are liberal) that are being aggressive when someone just has a different opinion. It's not ok. Anyways have a good day too
completely offtopic: Just remember, it's not Linux, its GNU/Linux :)
Well yes and no. Afaik some distros do use alternative core utils (Alpine is one of them I think?) so it's not correct to call ALL of them GNU/Linux. Though when it comes to desktop, everyone uses GNU so in that case it is GNU/Linux
