    Seriously, and you know it’s purely the work of the executives and business managers, cause no developer would ever think it makes sense to remove functionality just because.

    This is what happens in capitalist markets, and especially publicly traded companies, when your market share has reached saturation and there is no natural profit growth, you have to start paywalling currently free features/content to continue the quarterly profits.

      I mean devil’s advocate here, what do they do with social media in a socialist market?

      Lemmy and kbin were created in a capitalist market. So was linux and the rest of the foss concept.
