  • How is it dramatic when it’s all interconnected to begin with? People noticing a shift like that online might start to get involved in other ways as well if they start to feel more of the effect personally. It’s a good thing that people are noticing this stuff.

    Again it’s not a competition and people shouldn’t have to have their frustrations compared to something else, that is devaluing it. We are allowed to be upset about something and have that stand on its own without others chiming in and acting like it doesn’t matter because of something else so that they can act self important or more intelligent. It’s just old and tired.

    You seem to have an incredibly bad attitude and I wouldn’t be shocked if you were trying to start something, so I’m done here. Maybe try some empathy out for a change.













  • It’s nice to see someone questioning these things and not ignoring the fact that you’d still have to use the platform even for self hosting. There’s been a lot of mastodon instances of people acting in bad faith, there was even someone who had the FBI take their hard drive with everyone’s posts on it. This isn’t inherently safer at all it’s just not run by those large corporations. What about hosting something where people in other countries have different laws? No one seems to talk about that much either. Also the guy who made mastodon wants to partner with Meta anyway and people are arguing in favor of that. What was the point? On lemmy, are the posts truly deleted if you can recover them or if there is a backlog of comments and changes sitting somewhere? This isn’t for people who care about privacy and it’s not discussed enough and oftentimes when it is it seems the person or people get piled on and it goes nowhere.


  • I simply said in response to someone else that was frustrated about this sort of content in the technology instances, that I agreed this particular article doesn’t belong here. As for what you said, it seems you are pulling meaning out of thin air and trying to apply it to me in bad faith which I do not appreciate so I will not be answering those things. You can certainly see other comments that seem to agree with that stance, as well as this being a junk/clickbait article so maybe you could ask them instead.







  • You literally are defending LTT. None of what you said makes sense. So what if it’s a prototype? They were given instructions and other information and either due to negligence or complete disregard, they did everything wrong, gave an misinformed bad review, then gave the product away after saying they would be returning it. They have further excused themselves of wrong doing by saying it was for charity and given away at an auction and they didn’t sell it. They have refused responsibility and growth at every step of the way. This is also a pattern of behavior and is not just this one instance.
