But doxing is illegal 🤪

Also, mass bot'ing of votes can critically stifle online discussion. Without visibility what course of action can one take to defend themselves aside from making unverified claims of manipulation.

The people complaining about privacy have it fucked up imho.

Lemmy wasn't built for privacy. It was built to combat censorship and they are not synonymous. Again, imo hiding any sort of public engagement or impressions is just more censorship.

To simplify my point, were all here to engage with one another, so unless your being an asshole or aren't living up to your own values whatcha gotta hide?

"That dude commented saying he doesn't like cats. Get him!"

See how stupid that sounds?

EDIT: I downvoted the above post... 😬

Sir Elon Epstein Musk already removed the ability to see likes... I wonder what his motive was.... 🫤

My answer is yes to the original question. I speak with my votes, my comments, and my engagements. If I wanted to be separated in anyway from this I would just use an alt. Hell though, I even gave up on having a porn alt on twitter and I just own it if I like something. 🤷‍♂️

But muh clickbait

I had no idea about this.

Thanks for the information!

This shit just writes itself…

What are people’s thoughts on MetaGER? I started using it when I switched over to librewolf web browser and I really like the base free option, it looks like they have a monetization model but I haven’t looked into it much.

I tried SearchXNG a couple of times but it never stuck. Ashamed to say but google is still used as a backup a lot of time.

This should be front and center, caching won’t be able to make up for that…

I used to use tumblr for porn, then it went to twitter and telegram, after X took over I stopped using twitter.

All of that to say that every so often I’ll hop on my scarcely used smut account and within three scrolls of the home feed I saw some of the worst in humanity, the content would have been bad enough on its own, but my god, the comments…

First of all, tacos are friends, not food..

Secondly, I think it’s more important what they did to achieve this goal, locking down the API behind a paywall was their way of creating value in their data. They knew then that it would be too expensive for independent developers to pay for but didn’t care. They knew the money would be coming AI data brokers.
