We advocate for Lemmy because it’s a decentralised not-for-profit way to enable social exchange.
Technology allows us sophisticated ways to build useful tools that do not require ever increasing corporate dividends.
The BBC is framing this in such a way as to say “the best social network is the one that makes the most money”. This influences the public into flocking toward the service they perceive to be “most successful” which perpetuates a situation where corporations control our social spaces.
To clarify my intention with this post:

I wonder why the BBC would do that? It couldn’t be that they have a vested interest or anything…
