I’ve been a mindbleach fan since Reddit
what a character
Do we have an expectation of privacy for our upvotes, or is that generally supposed to be public information? I like to think my comments and upvotes match up pretty well.
I wasn’t conscious of it until I had stopped, but on Reddit I was censoring myself to avoid my comments getting deleted.
I believe in public institutions, our societies should be built on trust; for me, a trust-less society is a dystopia.
This was my favorite part; it sounded just like arguments about faith.
Wait wait wait. This is the real world?
Mastodon has account migration? Are we going to get that?
Edit: Yes. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3976

Then just use a different server? Facebook has an agenda too and the rest of us would prefer an occasional break from it.
You personally don’t “need” to do anything but decide which server meets your own standards. We are currently discussing this server’s standards.
I’m wondering if it’ll be similar to people switching from (convenient & centralized) Compuserve and AOL to (difficult but p2p) email and web. That took years.
Wouldn’t that make people think we’re supporting fachos and not cats?
The hard part is confidential shipping addresses. The decentralized anonymous payment stuff has already been solved, solved again, and then over-solved for good measure.
Yessss I miss the old Craigslist
I can’t enforce those laws myself, and my government is basically three corporations in a trenchcoat pretending to be a democracy. So direct action - even if an uphill battle - is my only real option.
I don’t think anyone is suggesting that we eliminate the plural “they”, either.
If Shakespeare’s English is too hard to comprehend today, then we can make it easier by switching one part back. It also proves that they’re ;-) not just trying to sound more important or whatever transphobic bs.
I’ve been scared to use that ever since they actually solved “Public reluctance to accept weird new forms of money”.
