Negative thoughts flooded my mind. The EU is constantly trying to push Chat Control. They’re blocking bootloaders on phones, introducing ID and face scanning everywhere, in the US they’re trying to push system-level verification, corporations are spitting in our faces and don’t even hide it. I know we have to fight. My personal rebellion was joining Fediverse and Lemmy and quitting Reddit. But seriously, boss—I’m tired. Are our attempts to preserve internet freedom futile? Can we win against corporations and politicians who we pay but don’t listen to us?

    Lemmy lets me do it by typing three hyphens - - - without spaces—like this.

    But I really don’t see a reason to use anything other than a hyphen - it shows I’m human!

      oh—that’s neat!

      Yea I thought this was a bot, 5 hour old account and such a weird first post containing an em-dash. Glad I was mistaken!
