Mountainaire@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoHuh? Are we not all trying to promote Lemmy and reduce Reddit’s power? What examples do you have? Being nonprofit and especially FOSS is a huge factor.

NGOs advertising themselves as offering legal help to vulnerable people promise help and later do nothing but saying in the media how helpful they are, or refuse said help. Playing bureaucratic football when the person is question is member of multiple vulnerable groups: why you go here for help, go there. Other NGOs trying to take control of grassroots youth movements after offering to help with some resources. More NGOs serving as PR vehicles of their solo leaders while pretending to advance human rights. Names: Insight, KyivPride, LGBT Military, EcoAction, many of them tbh, because it’s all the same “community”.
Regarding government entities, there are constant attempts, for years, by state companies providing water, to write generated or fake values for previous month so that you can’t report correct lower values and have to pay more. Do we consider police a government entity? Haven’t helped a single time, but harassed more than once.
About Reddit, I haven’t used it much and I can’t say anything about it besides it not very interesting. Lemmy developers are notorious assholes when it comes to anything about my country, so I’m not trying to promote it. I use other fedi tech because I like it and contribute.

Huh, interesting… I hadn’t thought about that before.
