It definitely appears to be exclusive to kbin, yes. I usually make a comment calling it out for the benefit of unsuspecting users, and then I report it.
I tend to browse all: new because I like to see fresh content. I've always been this way, even in my reddit era. I tend to block the communities I don't want to see, such as the porn ones. I generally don't complain because it's my choice to access the content this way.
These spam accounts do concern me though because they're clearly trying to scam vulnerable people. I've reported so much, but it's like chopping off the heads of a hydra. From what I'm hearing, our reports do help though, so that's good.
There's definitely some information that I've shared that is probably not in my best interest, so I understand being the type of person who tells people almost anything. I'm pretty much an open book with close friends and family. It's one reason I like to avoid sites like Facebook and use sites that emphasize anonymity more. Sometimes I have to keep myself safe from myself lol
I'm asking strictly from the point of view of Beehaw, considering this is Beehaw Support and all. Please accept that your voice is not needed or welcome in this post, and move on. I'm trying to be polite.
You'd tell them because the law might not consider your activities illegal at this time. But what about trans kids? What about people who have abortions? Unfortunately, we can't trust any state or legal system to continue to have our best interests in mind.
Better that we normalize a free and private internet now while we still have the privilege of saying "I'd tell them..." And if you'd tell them, then great! But that should be your choice, your agency. It shouldn't be data that we expect to have collated about us just by visiting a site online.
Not sure about this either. As a stereotypically redneck-looking dude in a very red state, people have not hesitated to disclose to me their most abhorrent thoughts and opinions. In fact, I often have to wear woke t-shirts and bling as fascist repellent
None of this is a critique of ideologies like syndicalism and anarcho-communism, so it's still a pretty ignorant meme that conflates Soviet communism with all forms of communism.
None of this disproves what people like Peter Kropotkin and Emma Goldman were writing about, whose worldviews do not disenfranchise such groups.
I also heartily disagree with your take about private farms. The options you think you have with "private property" are a scam.
I've never understood how this is supposed to be some big own to communism. You'd still refer to it as "my farm," even as I refer to the community where I live as "my city" and the jobs I've worked to benefit some capitalist bozo as "my job." This is even worse than Ben Shapiro popping out of a well. In many ways, I think I'd feel more ownership as part of a community vs. the facade of "private property."
