The counterculture on Lemmy is to not use big tech. The culture here is regain control of our digital lives by using open source software and self hosted alternatives to big US technology. To be able to communicate without censorship, without eroding privacy, and without expectation of payment is the goal here. That is completely opposite of anything to do with Facebook or Twitter. Myself and others here don’t see any value with what’s on those platforms.

I’m not sure what you mean by collecting, analyzing, and disrupting. Can you give some examples of what could be accomplished?

People moved to Lemmy to build an open alternative. Everything you described as not happening is happening on Lemmy.

The French say yes.

Ok, when?

Lemmy users would’ve hated when the calculator was invented.
