    It’s a real goofy time over there, haha. A lib tried to Ultra me and tell me Lemmy is Capitalist because posting is Value, and asserted that I haven’t read Marx, only being exposed to Lenin via memes.

    Deeply unserious people.

        If they try to swing back again I will, but I think they finally realized how cooked they are.

        That, or they were trolling the entire time to make me look better, but it’s .world so I doubt it lol

      If a website (like Twitter or facebook) make money off ads and our posts bring viewers to ads then yeah us posting creates value in some way for the capitalists who own the websites.

      I don’t think lemmy has ads though? I never see them if it does.

      Wtf was their point anyway? “You claim to hate capitalism, yet you participate in capitalism. Curious!” posting? Classic reactionary dipshittery

        Lemmy has no ads whatsoever, it’s FOSS. Some Lemmy apps do, like Sync.

        Their point seemed to be that the devs are actually hypocrites and admins are basically bourgeoisie.
