if they did that on Fedi, they'd get the exact same treatment, and in addition to that people would call for defederating the instance they'd signed up on.

I feel like corporations look at Lemmy/The Fediverse the same way Mufasa looked at the place where the hyenas lived.

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 60 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I mean, good? I guess they'd bring some user growth, but they'd just post their brand stuff that I don't imagine most people really want in their feeds, and there's the risk that they end up getting favored treatment on larger instances by donating more than a typical user can or paying the moderators there.

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 28 points 1 month ago

Yes, we want to build a social network free of the corporate hold so we shouldn't be eager to welcome corporation.

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

My thoughts exactly.

There are vanishingly few places on the Internet that are not inundated with constant ads, promotions, astroturfing, and commercials.

It's why I like it here.

[–] stsquad@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sure I don't want ads pumped into my feed but some corporations can do social media well. I used to follow Yorkshire Tea on twitter who were generally pretty funny, I don't drink even drink their teas.

[–] scintilla@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Also way too many corps don't have up to date information on their website and their twitter profile has more recent info. The lack of that on any FOSS/decentralized social media means that some people just have to keep a centralized account open.

[–] julian@community.nodebb.org 2 points 1 month ago

@scintilla@lemm.ee that's the main thing for me too. That news orgs, political agencies, and corporations use Xitter to communicate is the real travesty.

[–] match@pawb.social 10 points 1 month ago

meanwhile i look at Lemmy/Fediverse the same way e621 looks at the place where the hyenas lived

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nah, defederation means we couldn't bully them anymore.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

is bullying worthier than having a peace of mind?

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Bullying unethical companies is peace of mind.

[–] Zentron@lemm.ee 11 points 1 month ago

Bullying will continue untill moralle improves !

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 7 points 1 month ago

carry on then!

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

call for defederating the instance they'd signed up on.

Lululemmy.com is still around though.

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 10 points 1 month ago

Okay Lululemmy is a great name actually.

I asked for it to be in sh.itjust.works' bylaws. No commercial spam.

[–] Skyrmir@lemmy.world 79 points 1 month ago (3 children)

This is why companies should never set themselves up walled gardens of communication. The execs probably had no clue how hated their company was, because they just see the sales and stock values. Then the minute they actually step into the real world, they get smacked with the dildo of consequence.

[–] BroBot9000@lemmy.world 36 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Pretty sure this late into the game Adobe know full well that people hate them, I think they underestimated the level of corporate greed and enshittification that Bluesky has and will return when things are more “corporate friendly”

[–] mmddmm@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

They trying to engage in BlueSky is evidence they didn't know.

It's surprising to me too.

[–] Walican132@lemmy.today 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is everyone friendly to Adobe on other platforms?

[–] Skyrmir@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They're flooded by the bots, or filtered, on other platforms. Couple that with Bluesky being a new platform with a decidedly anti-corporate user bias, and the message ratios change dramatically.

[–] Walican132@lemmy.today 3 points 1 month ago

Gotcha I was confused how this could be a surprise to them lol

[–] Artyom@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Everyone has hated Adobe for several decades now, and they have only made more evil decisions since. Surely even if the Adobe offices are a little bubble of misinformation, everyone in that company must know they are extremely hated.

[–] Skyrmir@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

What the employees know, and what C Suite knows are rarely the same thing. Executives see metrics, and summaries, which is what bots and community managers are designed to filter.

[–] Omgboom@lemmy.zip 62 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's always okay to cyberbully Adobe though

[–] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago

Ironically, it's free!

[–] gabbath@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Wait, I thought it could federate with Mastodon instances. Or do you mean in spirit?

[–] Sergio@slrpnk.net 29 points 1 month ago

“Hey, we’re Adobe! We’re here to connect with the artists, designers, and storytellers who bring ideas to life,” read Adobe’s first post which has since been deleted. “What’s fueling your creativity right now?”

Protip: if you're as hated as Adobe, don't ask open-ended questions.

[–] pneumatron@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And nothing of value was lost that day.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 7 points 1 month ago

The thread with hundreds of comments telling adobe to go fuck itself was lost, that was the only thing of value

[–] Goretantath@lemm.ee 26 points 1 month ago

Fuck adobe, they got what they deserved.

[–] drspod@lemmy.ml 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't understand the connection between the TOP TEXT and the BOTTOM TEXT. Could someone please explain?

There isn't one. The exact same thing happened to every brand that tried to market to Tumblr users as well, and it's as easy to set up and use a Tumblr account as it is a Twitter account.

Becoming unmarketable is not the same thing as having a difficult account creation process.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

More like the fediverse has a highpass filter that blocks people who probably shouldn't be on social media in the first place.

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

24 hours later this threat still only has 35 comments and most of them are trash

[–] onlinepersona@programming.dev 7 points 1 month ago

Isn't Adobe still making boatloads of money off of artists that pay them? What's holding back artists from paying or donating to opensource alternatives instead? Imagine if 1 million moneys or more went to projects like Krita, GIMP, and Inkscape every year. How quickly would it catch up to the proprietary options?

The fediverse has an onboarding problem and the lack of growth makes that clear

[–] andMoonsValue@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think there has been growth, but do you think the only issue stopping the fediverse from growing faster is onboarding?

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No, why are you putting words into my mouth?

You say there's growth but unless its a meme or a politics sub, basically everything is dead here. The last post in the yu gi oh community was three months ago and that's a fucking huge IP

Lemmy has already had time to be established and it is basically unknown outside of lemmy users, there is a fucktonne wrong with the site and the userbase but admins refuse to address it in delusion

[–] oakward@feddit.org 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What problems are currently not addressed by admins?

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Supermods, bots, and forum sliders just like everywhere else

[–] Suoko@feddit.it 3 points 1 month ago

Hilarious 😂
