What do you mean with chat control BS? Care to share a link?
That being said, there are a lot of worrying politicians out there.

I don't understand what your article has to do with privacy. I understood that is the framework of this conversation. Yes, there's a lot of scary rightwing policing in Germany, but can we stay on topic?
I feel like at least in Germany privacy matters are alive and kicking thanks to GDPR / DSGVO
The problem with regulation is that most of these data giants are US companies, and due to regulatory capture since the 1980s you can't expect much to change there.
Amazing! I did not expect that outcome from my comment
I'm no expert, but I feel like anywhere they use an algorithm to drive up "engagement" it leads into people being fed rage-bait and then them acting accordingly. This "attention economy" needs to end somehow.
He does anything to make the Epsein circus go away
That function doesn't seem to function properly btw. I have tried with "meme" and "politics" and communities with those words in them still keep popping into my feed on PieFed.
I appreciate you putting it into words instead of just upvoting
Up/Downvoting is so 2015. Instead, comment on any interesting posts, and especially the ones with zero comments. This platform is meant to be about discussion, and not just mindlessly sharing links or memes.
I, personally, am more inclined to check out a post if it has at least one (non-bot, non OP) comment.
That's a good quote.
Also props for recognizing your own people-pleasing tendencies. And I'm glad to hear you've worked on it. It takes time to understand what causes us to be like that. It might be out of fear of rejection or some other unwanted outcome. And it could be based on some irrational assumptions or beliefs.
To be able to accept any outcome in any situation is very difficult, but a strong foundation for confidence and inner peace.

I understand what you mean, and agree that not everything needs to be put in words. At the same time though, it's really healthy to expose yourself to others even if you just write "I like the way you formulated this." or "Makes sense, I hadn't thought of it like this before". That way it turns into a real discussion - a bit like in the real 3d world.
Up/ downvoting is basically anonymous and adds nothing to the discussion.
And, sometimes, other users misunderstand our comments, and then we need to respond to them to get our point through. All of this is a healthy way to challenge our thinking.
