I check more often than not if they’re a co-op.

I dislike parasitic capitalists with ill-gotten wealth expanding it.

I mean there are further reasons like:

“I will only purchase things where the laborers are contractually obligated to some or all share of the profits”

I’d never pirate a product from a worker co-op, charity, or artisan but everything else is fair game in my opinion.

I prefer to have fun with my real friends instead of the people I work with.

I chose those people.

The only additive feature that would make it my forever client is customizable multi-communities.

Let me choose to add [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc into a single multicom (that I can name) and display posts from all of them when I click on it.

It would be quite literally perfect for all of my browsing needs if it implemented this feature.

This is largely a reddit-discourse problem that evolved over time as the site devolved into witty one-liners and adversarial comments for engagement.

I’m hoping people push back hard against this across various fediverse instances because it just makes the internet a worse place and discourages contributions from would-be posters/commenters.

People should feel excited to post without feeling the need to look over their post/comment 100 times to pre-emptively guess what all attack angles someone is going to respond to in a post as harmless about liking the way roses smell.

This is where apps need to pick up the “slack” imo. Let me make something like a multi-community where to me, the user, I’m just clicking on games but in the background it’s amalgamating c/[email protected], , c/[email protected] c/[email protected], etc.

Let me configure which communities populate this collection of communities and in a perfect world present to me, the app user, a combined-looking post for links that are the same across instances.

Example, if c/games and c/pcgaming have a link post pointing to the same link, don’t duplicate the threads in my collection of communities aggregate, just show comments from each thread under a single post on my end.
