It's not run to maximize shareholder value
That was my favorite part! Don't you just love being a tiny cog on the capitalist wheel of despair?
On reddit I deliberately refrained from up/down voting because I hate feeding capitalist algorithms. I'm trying to unlearn that habit now.
At least here there is no algorithm I think?
The only algorithms here are for sorting posts based on activity and recency, rather than trying to maximize engagement so you see more ads. Also it's all completely open source.
Certainly there's some kind of algorithm behind sorting by Hot or Top Day or whatever, but it's not trying to sell me stuff or sell my preferences to anybody
I just wish the orphan crushing machine wasn't so slow. JUST DO IT!!! Or preferably don't and stop sucking, but I know that won't happen.
Even if they were to come out fire spez and go say 'our bad let's stop and talk about this' I'm still not going back.
