Daniel Ek founded the company. He got to where he’s at by having lots of money. He got that money to found Spotify by being hired into other companies which were acquired. You’re describing “Executive Vice Presidents” that were promoted from within.

Viewing from another instance, it is still pinned. Fediverse, go!
Done? Time to unpin? Are those stupid questions?
Why would you run a business if your name wasn’t plastered all over it? Tim Apple isn’t stupid.
A typical Internet scammer would have at least pretended to offer some money before stealing the username.
Yeah I don’t blame Chinese people for their government’s actions. It’s like hating Americans for what Trump says. Simply invite real Chinese people to post on Lemmy and give their honest opinions on GreatFire, and stop hurting their feelings.
A week ago I literally read articles about how .ml was switching to the (Russian-influenced) Mali government in a week, and did not even think about how lemmy.ml would be affected
It was “only” a 2% mortality rate. About the voter uncertainty rate.
People of Color sounds suspiciously like Colored People. Where I’m from it’s just Black, Latino, and Asian. African/Asian/Latin American if you are patriotic.
Making a good demo before a game is released can take away developer time from getting useful work done before release. But after its been released, the time pressure should be off and they could do a nice demo for more marketing.
Companies 100% have a right to skip demos and sell pre-orders. And people have a right to boycott those.
For my old TV, the RED power LED is very helpful. Sometimes its on the wrong input, and very rarely something has gone wrong and I need to unplug-replug it in to fix the display. LED saves me clicking the power button when it’s already on.
It’s kind of big red dot, but not bright which I’m grateful for.
You’re right, Reddit has a lot of established communities. But if you were going to start a new community? I think it’s all downhill from here.
To be fair I’ve got shortcuts I reflexively use and clicked on Google links. It’s like quitting smoking and visiting your relatives who smoke? IDK
I think nobody would start a new community on Reddit, just makes sense to build something new on a Lemmy instance 🔰
These things do cost time and money and the security code still needs to be written in blood, but it’ll be fun.
American isn’t a race!
My imagination is that old.reddit.com was cheaper to serve than whatever it is they are doing now. Maybe they make less ad revenue?

That is pretty cool, but uhh maybe not user friendly. I entered “lemm.ee” and it says “Not a lemmy instance”.
It would be cool if it could pre-enter the HTTP referrer, then typing might not even be needed.
The letters I and C?
