  • Removed as a protest against the community’s support for campaigns to bring about the deaths of members of marginalized groups, and opposition to private entities working to prevent such campaigns, together with it’s mindless flaming and downvoting of anyone who disagrees.

    As a postscript for this discussion only, be aware that virtually all the replies to my comments quote me out of context, or claim I’ve made arguments I haven’t. It’s safe to disregard them.

    Quoted verbatim here, just in case you choose to edit it again.

    The only reason you got downvoted to hell in this thread is because you want to paint everyone who opposes corporate censorship as transgender murder supporters, in, what the article itself describes as a futile, neverending effort.

    And now that you are time and time confronted with the fallacies you employ, you decide to edit all your comments “in protest”. Stopping only to call everyone who opposed you even in the slightest an accomplice to murder. Very mature.


    Edit: Ah cute. They delivered another show of their good intent in my DM;

    Fuck off and die you harassing, lying, piece of shit.

    Everyone who disagrees with you must be pro-kiwi huh? I rest my case.

    Why is it called “Revoke consent”? Consent was never asked during setup, so how can it be revoked?

    Edit: oh great. It doesn’t even save your settings for objecting to “Legitimate interest”. Uninstalled.

    It’s ironic, because the companies who claim to have a legitimate interest in tracking my behaviour are the ones I want to block from tracking me most of all.





  • Kick a puppy

    If you have to resort to false equivalences like these, you’re not really making the anti-WEI crowd look good.


    *Edit: * There’s some massive misunderstanding about my comment.

    I called it a false equivalency because it’s comparing both the measures (“stronger safety”) and the thing is supposed to prevent (doxing and bullying) to puppy kicking.

    That’s just emotional manipulation done badly. We all call it out when politicians use pedophiles to warrant Internet surveillance, and now apply it ourselves? I don’t know about you, but when I see bad reasoning, I’ll call it out. Even if it’s done by “my side”.









  • In my experience people only follow people to new networks when enough other people have made the switch. Try convincing people to use signal or telegram instead of WhatsApp, for example.

    To move off twitter, one person will make the journey, find out that most of the people they want to follow (or be followed by) aren’t on mastodon, and go back to twitter.

    People don’t actively seek out content on Lemmy (yet). But if they do check it out, they will be more likely to stick around if they feel they don’t miss out on stuff they were used to on reddit.

    For some things like text posts and questions, comments / discussion is great. For other, more content based posts like photos, game discounts or adult content, I don’t mind one bit not seeing other people’s comments.

    Lemmit is meant to become obsolete in the long run, but it can help prime the network with content that makes it easier to switch over.
