You specifically state that you're glad that your CPU and GPU aren't a vector for companies to fuck with you, but they are a vector for Apple to fuck with you. Apple just hasn't done it (yet?)

It's not that "Apple is bad" it's that you're commenting about how you're glad that companies like Nvidia can't fuck with you, while being seemingly oblivious to the fact that Apple absolutely can fuck with you because you're running a proprietary OS using proprietary drivers on proprietary hardware. Apple has more power over you than Nvidia does over Linux users, yet you're commenting here like Apple is a better choice.

Those numbers didn't dramatically change after the Digg migration though. The internet archive has copies of reddit's front page both before and after Digg's explosion and they don't show dramatically different numbers of votes on the top posts. Please don't mistake me for saying that no one actually moved from Digg to reddit, I'm just saying that reddit had an established and significant userbase even before Digg fucked around and found out. I don't think the same is quite true for lemmy.

Reddit's burst of users from digg though was on top of an established site with a reasonable userbase. How many people were using lemmy before spez decided that Twitter was a role model instead of a cautionary tale?
