That only applies to specific instances, or even specific communities. Just switch to a different instance or community, or make your own. If you don’t like lemmy.world, try out either exploding-heads or lemmygrad, depending which way you swing, and vice versa. Somewhere out there is the community and instance for you, and if none of them are to your taste, nothing’s stopping you from making your own - that’s the beauty of the fediverse.
Note that you can get banned from specific communities or instances, just not from Lemmy itself, as long as you are on a permissive instance or your own instance.

The stuff BlackCat stole and haven’t released yet.
With the post-scarcity caveat firmly in place, it would work great, actually.
That ratio says otherwise.
Yes. Look at the 2008 housing crash, and tell me average investors are intelligent.
When some sites coughquoracough started disallowing posting unless you did it under your irl name.
Is anyone surprised?

Against it by “using” it in a manner which deprived the company of revenue - such as watching videos with an adblocker.
This, in their mind, counts as “shit that matters”.
As the social media juggernauts, these companies are viewed as the embodiment of everything they see as wrong with a capitalist/corporatist society, and in their mind, by dismantling or fundamentally changing and challenging these juggernauts, they can inspire and bring about the change they want in society as a whole.
No, I’m just pointing out the community you’re talking about. This is a piracy community, on Lemmy. If you’re surprised that this specific community is hostile to your arguments, I’m not sure what you were expecting.
Addressing the main point of your argument, the idea of the FOSS movement which many people in this community espouse is to have effectively a volunteer and donation-based society, just like Lemmy and the rest of the Fediverse. Peertube comes to mind as a specific example. For a significant portion of that population, communism and socialism are also not considered bad things. For others, the crux of their complaint is not against the monetization of content, but the degree to which said monetization interrupts their viewing experience - 30 second ads on a 10 second video, for instance, or multiple 10 second ads interspersed at 30 second intervals throughout a 2 minute video, with the lion’s share of the revenue going to YouTube and not directly to the creators - hence the creation of platforms such as Bitchute, Nebula and CuriosityStream.
And what specifically is wrong with being paid a fair wage on time for work and effort matching the job description exactly?
gestures around I’m not sure if you know this, but you’re on Lemmy, not Reddit or Gab.
My guy you’re posting on a piracy community.
Welcome!
Connect for Lemmy is the closest thing I’ve found to RIF.
Make it yourself! That’s the beauty of starting from scratch - if you can’t find a community, you can just make your own, because likely nobody’s done it yet.
Connect for Lemmy seems like a pretty good app so far, feels decently similar to RIF.
Well, if the moron was gonna defederate you anyways, its not like you’d ever have wanted to be on his instance and beholden to his rules. Like I said, we’ve got all sorts of instances out here - you just have to find your niche. From straight Marxist instances like lemmygrad to the exact opposite over at exploding-heads, to pirates over at dbzer0. Whatever you’re into, it’s probably here - just maybe not at lemmy.world. Try out lemm.ee or sh.itjust.works, or ask around for whatever instances fit your style. There’s even full, anti-censorship free speech absolutist instances around here if you take a look around.
