I wasn’t equating slavery with capitalism here. I was comparing your reasoning with the reasoning of those who argued for the status quo during times of slavery.

“Slavery is one of the worst forms of economic oppression. Except, of course, all other times we tried running the economy without slavery.”
It’s free after you pay for it.
It’s a one-time fee that you pay monthly. One-time in that you pay one time a month.

That’s very fair, and tbh a perspective I wasn’t viewing from when I made my sarcastic comment.
The worst thing that could happen is for the fediverse to turn into a reddit clone…we certainly don’t want that.
Discussion is required to change views and inform. So I now think my original was unwarranted, sorry about that.
Ah, very fair. Was not aware of this! That would certainly skew the voting metrics to some degree.
Oh I’m not saying you can’t comment and discuss. That’s the whole point right?
But you can also just downvote the post if ya don’t like it and move on? I just see some posts of stuff where it’ll have a solid ratio of upvotes to downvotes, but then see people comment “why are we posting [x]?” Because it has more upvotes than downvotes? If you don’t like it and want to send a message, then downvote? I think discussing is a waste of time.
Although I guess I’m part of the problem by continuing the discussion lol
Missing: I drink a lot of pee
pssst, that’s what the downvote button if for 😉
You’re saying we could reactivate the gene and get infinite teeth?? 🫨

I don’t drink soda. Why? So I can tell people that I don’t drink soda.
Sorry to interrupt but I was actually gonna comment this same exact thing
Wow that is horrible
As if Bathroom Dad wasn’t enough
Not sure about [x], but here’s how you do [y]
I disagree, but understand if this is what you think
Wait long enough and you get the real certificate
That’s why surveillance has been, is, and will always be an issue and something to be concerned about.
All it takes is a concentrated power system to abuse that power and use surveillance to their benefit.
Could you imagine if the Nazi’s had the amount of data, information, and surveillance capabilities of modern day US?
