Fuck Meta. God damn cancer on society.

I’m guessing there were too many people supporting for Harris for their liking. They lost control and it was harming their preferred candidate so they killed it.
God dammit.
Why go seek shelter from the Kremlin if he wasn’t already compromised? Seems like there are many better places he could have gone.
It does what?
How many people do you think the US has killed?
Guantanamo certainly wasn’t open torture, it was hidden and very controversial. My comment was about the current US government vs the current Kremlin, seems like you’re intentionally misconstruing it to make a point.
No longer safe is a biased way of interpreting the law which allows organizers to be held financially responsible for problems caused by their protest.
Thanks for the info. A couple big assumptions in there without backing, but I think I understand why you’re making them.
An uncomfortable perspective I’ve developed over the past few years is that some of these privacy sacrifices might allow the US government to more effectively counter malicious efforts from governments like the CCP and Kremlin who have no such restrictions. That said, I have no doubt they’ll also be abused.
I don’t trust him ever since he sided with the Kremlin. Also what is this website…
As another commenter said, Chelsea Manning is already out. Snowden wouldn’t be considered a terrorist.
The US government doesn’t openly torture, murder, kill to expand their borders, put people in jail for blank signs, or many other terrible things the Kremlin does. The US government is easily, hands down better than the Russian government.
the political beliefs of the Lemmy developers never harmed any of the several opposition communities or servers
Hard disagree. Lemmy is full of authoritarian propaganda, and they’re quite happy to abuse and harass users. The devs might be on lemmy.ml instead of Hexbear, but they’re on the same team spreading their propaganda with a ML facade.
I’ve been told I’m “going to get the wall” (i.e. they’ll execute me against a wall, a death threat) and had an old account followed around with them downvoting everything I posted until I just abandoned it.
I still use Lemmy but I won’t even admit I use it unless it really cleans up a lot of the misinformation and hate, and I see certain devs as central to this problem.
I’ll happily move to a new platform to avoid them.
It’s not like the good communities will stop existing.
I saw many good Reddit subs then into garbage as the site grew.
At least the Fediverse should be resistant to enshittification because greed isn’t the driving force behind it.
Weird. Maybe some kind of fingerprinting?
Agreed, except I don’t think people starting to act terrible was the main problem. I think it’s mostly bots.
Well said. Lemmygrad.ml and lemmy.ml are malicious misinformation factories supporting authoritarian governments, namely the Kremlin and CCP.
They’re worse than garbage and I’ll never recommend the fediverse to anyone, or even admit to using it, while they’re so prominent.
That analogy doesn’t work for malicious state-managed LLMs.
I appreciate that, thanks 🙏🏻 now I’m considering disabling 2G.
Agreed. Disable 2G? Why? That might cost me connectivity in some places and I won’t remember to turn it back on.
What is this crap
I don’t even tell people I use Lemmy, let alone recommend it, because of how much authoritarian propaganda there is on here.
I love the idea and won’t give up on it easily, and I hope other users can join me in making it a better place by calling out propaganda.
