  • How is it dramatic when it’s all interconnected to begin with? People noticing a shift like that online might start to get involved in other ways as well if they start to feel more of the effect personally. It’s a good thing that people are noticing this stuff.

    Again it’s not a competition and people shouldn’t have to have their frustrations compared to something else, that is devaluing it. We are allowed to be upset about something and have that stand on its own without others chiming in and acting like it doesn’t matter because of something else so that they can act self important or more intelligent. It’s just old and tired.

    You seem to have an incredibly bad attitude and I wouldn’t be shocked if you were trying to start something, so I’m done here. Maybe try some empathy out for a change.







  • This isn’t funny. This is all harmful. People out there are taking this seriously, getting more riled up, and it’s going to cause harm to others. This is putting yet another target on LGBTQ+ people and someone with a gun is going to see this and think they are doing the right thing because the propaganda is so bad.

    The left needs to take these things way more seriously and stop laughing it off then wondering why and how things like Jan 6th happened and acting all shocked like it came out of the blue. This is how these things keep happening. Just because it’s stupid or nonsense to you doesn’t mean it is to everyone watching it. Please I implore people to think of the ripple effects.














  • It’s nice to see someone questioning these things and not ignoring the fact that you’d still have to use the platform even for self hosting. There’s been a lot of mastodon instances of people acting in bad faith, there was even someone who had the FBI take their hard drive with everyone’s posts on it. This isn’t inherently safer at all it’s just not run by those large corporations. What about hosting something where people in other countries have different laws? No one seems to talk about that much either. Also the guy who made mastodon wants to partner with Meta anyway and people are arguing in favor of that. What was the point? On lemmy, are the posts truly deleted if you can recover them or if there is a backlog of comments and changes sitting somewhere? This isn’t for people who care about privacy and it’s not discussed enough and oftentimes when it is it seems the person or people get piled on and it goes nowhere.
