-          <p>The idea to make Lemmy was a combination of factors.</p>
-          <p>
-            Open source developers like myself have long watched the rise of the
-            “Big Five”, the US tech giants that have managed to capture nearly
-            all the world’s everyday communication into their hands. We’ve been
-            asking ourselves why people have moved away from content-focused
-            sites, and what we can do to subvert this trend, in a way that is
-            easily accessible to a non-tech focused audience.
-          </p>
-          <p>
-            The barriers to entry on the web, are much lower than say in the
-            physical world: all it takes is a computer and some coding knowhow…
-            yet the predominating social media firms have been able to stave off
-            competition for at least two reasons: their sites are easy to use,
-            and they have huge numbers of users already (the “first mover”
-            advantage). The latter is more important; if you’ve ever tried to
-            get someone to use a different chat app, you’ll know what I mean.

-            Now I loved early reddit, not just for the way that it managed to
-            put all the news for the communities and topics I wanted to see in a
-            single place, but for the discussion trees behind every link posted.
-            I still have many of these saved, and have gained so much more from
-            the discussion behind the links, than I have from the links
-            themselves. In my view, its the community-focused, tree-like
-            discussions, as well as the ability to make, grow, and curate
-            communities, that has made reddit the 5th most popular site in the
-            US, and where so many people around the world get their news.
-          </p>
-          <p>
-            But that ship sailed years ago; the early innovative spirit of
-            reddit left with Aaron Schwartz: its libertarian founders have
-            allowed some of the most racist and sexist online communities to
-            fester on reddit for years, only occasionally removing them only
-            when community outcry reaches a fever pitch. Reddit closed its
-            source code years ago, and the reddit redesign has become a bloated
-            anti-privacy mess.
-          </p>
-          <p>
-            Its become absorbed into that silicon valley surveillance-capitalist
-            machine that commidifies users to sell ads and paid flairs, and
-            propagandizes pro-US interests above all. Software technology being
-            one of the last monopoly exports the US has, it would be naive to
-            think that one of the top 5 most popular social media sites, where
-            so many people around the world get their news, would be anything
-            other than a mouthpiece for the interests of those same US coastal
-            tech firms.
-          </p>
-          <p>
-            Despite the conservative talking point that big tech is dominated by
-            “leftist propaganda”, it is liberal, and pro-US, not left (leftism
-            referring to the broad category of anti-capitalism). Reddit has
-            banned its share of leftist users and communities, and the reddit
-            admins via announcement posts repeatedly villify the US’s primary
-            foreign-policy enemies as having “bot campaigns”, and “manipulating
-            reddit”, yet the default reddit communities (/r/news, /r/pics, etc),
-            who share a small number of moderators, push a line consistent with
-            US foreign-policy interests. The aptly named /r/copaganda subreddit
-            has exposed the pro-police propaganda that always seems to hit
-            reddit’s front page in the wake of every tragedy involving US police
-            killing the innocent (or showing police kissing puppies, even though
-            US police kill ~ 30 dogs every day, which researchers have called a
-            “noted statistical phenomenon”).
-          </p>
-          <p>
-            We’ve also seen a rise in anti-China posts that have hit reddit
-            lately, and along with that comes anti-chinese racism, which reddit
-            tacitly encourages. That western countries are seeing a rise in
-            attacks against Asian-Americans, just as some of the perpetrators of
-            several hate-crimes against women were found to be redditors active
-            in mens-rights reddit communities, is not lost on us, and we know
-            where these tech companies really stand when it comes to violence
-            and hate speech. Leftists know that our position on these platforms
-            is tenable at best; we’re currently tolerated, but that will not
-            always be the case.
-          </p>
-          <p>
-            The idea for making a reddit alternative seemed pointless, until
-            Mastodon (a federated twitter alternative), started becoming
-            popular. Using activitypub (a protocol / common language that social
-            media services can use to speak to each other), we finally have a
-            solution to the “first mover” advantage: now someone can build or
-            run a small site, but still be connected to a wider universe of
-            users.
-          </p>
-          <p>
-            Nutomic and I originally made Lemmy to fill the role as a federated
-            alternative to reddit, but as it grows, it has the potential become
-            a main source of news and discussion, existing outside of the US’s
-            jurisdictional domain and control.
