No.
Please read my original post again. Did I say “was and always has been” or did I say “is”?

It is gambling, because dark pools. That is the house. You’re not trading the actual stock. The financial institutions do that. You buy stock from them, and they in turn give you a fake number and invest it in all secrecy.
In essence, you’ll get your money, but they will handle the profits. So it is a rigged slot machine.

And before you go “it’s to avoid liability”, fucking duh - it doesn’t make it right though.

In other words, you put any content up there, they can resell it to some movie studio AND make an AI copy of you with no consequences… at least according to their ToS.
EU law however… well, time will tell how fast and violently EU lawyers will inject themselves into the urethra of the service provider.

Bruh, wtf you think stock trading is? Buying into funds is just hiring professional gamblers to work for you, "insider trading* is cheating and dark pools is just the high rollers table.

Yeah, I’m not saying it’s easy to do ^^ it is a job and a half just to design it, for sure. I’m not facetious enough to pretend anything else.

Immediately scrolls down to the comment section. I’ve been spoiled by content just automatically loading, but I saw the “Load Lemmy” button. Tres chic.
It would be cool if there was a raised question mark button to the right for the load button, that on mouse over or click shows a tooltip explaining shortly what Lemmy is, as well as directly telling the user what community and instance the comments hail from - even before loading the content.
A standard tooltip for that purpose would be kind of nice.
