I guess we are going to be in for more SEO spam than usual if this document is accurate. But I think its good that we are finally going to get a better understanding how Google manipulates people with the algorithm.
So a win-lose situation.

China is not socialist no matter what they say.
@onlinepersona@programming.dev and @CosmicCleric@lemmy.world should be able to give their perspectives.
I think it is part of a long term strategy.
They saw all the negative feedback that was given when the first announcement came and there were a lot of users saying its not so bad or that we should give them a chance then.
Eventually everything became quiet and things moved on now there is a steady rise of pro Meta comments again and this time it will lead to a less violent reaction because it has already happened once before.
Rinse and repeat until they become the norm.
When you check the mod logs and filter by mod you can see that it came from Mr. Kaplan which is a lemmy.world admin.
So yes it was a lemmy.world decision. The question is whether or not this admin was a lone actor.
The part that annoys me is that this was done silently even though last time they said they would ask their users. Hopefully it was just an admin that didn't get the last memo.
Edit: the community -> their users
Have you seen human rating rituals?
That and being direct with someone when asking to be in a relationship.
What annoys me about this is that it implicitly says that if you have more money you deserve to be safer.
We currently have 40872 monthly active users.
700/40872 ~ 1.7% of all monthly active users.
After many hours of talks, it became clear that our overall goal could be achieved outside of Lemmy/ActivityPub.
Right now, we feel that Lemmy and ActivityPub have downsides that are limiting us from achieving that goal.
I have two questions.
What are your long-term goals for your platform?
What are the downsides to Lemmy/ActivityPub stopping you from reaching those goals?
Also to answer the main question I'd like for it to stay but at the same time, the last time I checked Beehaw had around 700-ish Monthly active users. That means there probably wouldn't be that much of an impact on the general discourse of Lemmy more broadly.
That seems like enough to sustain a pretty big community on a private server even if about half of you left. So if you guys do decide to leave I wish you the best.
That sucks. So much research is being twisted by humanity's greed. I hope that whatever comes after the internet becomes useless is better.
