Yeah, this is one of the main problems impeding lemmy's growth. Normies don't care about "instances."

Maybe there needs to be some rough IP geolocating to just pick one for them and redirect.

Yes. Not if, but when.

One can only hope it holds off until the tangerine tyrant's term is over and he hasn't completely destroyed US civilization by then.

But it's looking less and less likely since it recently made the jump to pigs (always a coal mine canary for increased likelihood of affinity for human infection and H2H transmission) and we're just speedrunning towards it through sheer negligence.

Not even, though. Practically all the YouTube "creators" these days have [this part of the video is brought to you by scandanavian interwebz to keep out teh hax0rs] sponsored segments that are [Have you shaved your fuckin' nutsack lately bro? Check out this ball hair trimmer from clipyerjunk dot com] littered throughout [zzzzzzzzzip ... ^reecrootah ] their videos.

That being said, some of them at least put effort into finding and vetting content-relevant sponsors that can actually be helpful. I can kinda just barely tolerate those.

If governments actually gave a fuck about antitrust anymore, it would be. 20-ish years ago, they dragged Microsoft to court over simply bundling IE with Windows. It didn't even constantly nag you to set as default; just the fact that it was bundled at all was enough to make it into the sights of regulators.

It seems that space would be perfect for the community title. If the title's too long, it could be truncated with horizontal scrolling.

Edit: problem solved!

Corrected headline: boomers voted in austerity assholes and now their kids have to pay for it with their money

Well, would you look at that, it's playing out exactly the same as every other technological advancement ever. Instead of using it to reduce employee workloads and maintain an equilibrium of output, it exploits them by brute-forcing increased productivity with no changes to compensation and the capitalists hoard even more of the profits for themselves.

I'm so confused. Who could possibly think these are bad things?

I'm still trying to figure out how reddit expects to "become profitable" while simultaneously destroying everything that made it valuable.
