Hello World!
We have done it! We opened the first openly anti corporate community on lemmy.
The description has been carefully crafted but still needs a lot of work so feel free to suggest additions and give feedback. We will add rules and other stuff eventually.
The discussion in here should remain respectful. People who defend corporations are still people. Please be kind. If they use rhetoric instead of arguments they will be banned anyway.
Please report and kind of trolling and what you suspect as propaganda. Our definition of propaganda is the following:
Propaganda is communication that is primarily used to influence or persuade an audience to further an agenda, which may not be objective and may be selectively presenting facts to encourage a particular synthesis or perception, or using loaded language to produce an emotional rather than a rational response to the information that is being presented.[1] Propaganda can be found in a wide variety of different contexts.[2]
This is taken from the wikipedia.org article. We dont interject if someone is just passionate but if the language they use suggests that they are trying to get around making good arguments, we will.
We’re happy to have you here. Feel free to post something.
Have a great day! :)
Imho the main problem is the profit seeking, not necessarily corporations. Although some corporations have achieved such size that that by itself might be a problem. But imagine that instead of pursuing max profit, corporations would pursue social happiness or anything more usefull than filling in the pockets of already rich shareholders, then those corporations would actually be good.
I agree that there is a alternate reality where corporations seek the good for the community but it sadly isnt this one. Imo the size of the corporations makes them ungovernable by definition and therefore gives them power to overrule and evade any sanctions against them. Thank you for contributing. :)
