My theory is that they want to destroy anything like Reddit … a community of free thinking, free talking people all mixing and melting political ideas, theories and thoughts freely with one another.

It was an absolutely intolerable situation to bare for governments and big business and corporations that want to control people than to see them all freely talking to one another and exchanging ideas.

Reddit is like the invention of the printing press … a tool that allows people to freely share information with one another … nothing threatens the establishment than the prospect of free thinking people

Which is why Lemmy and the Fediverse is important … reddit was the single page manual printing press … the fediverse and future iterations of decentralized social media will become the automated multipage mechanical printing press

Lemmy and the fediverse will be made fun of and discredited … until it is adopted by enough people … then it will be undermined with capitalism and marketing and commerce … then the whole system will repeat itself again.

People want to talk and share … it will always be like that … no one will ever want to stop talking to others about the problems we all live with.
