And then the plan to force everyone to abandon Firefox whether they like it or not.
Implement the misfeatures.
Movie and music websites will be the first to announce requiring DRM to be able to watch movies or listen to tunes.
The banks will be next. "For your safety, you must use an Official Approved Browser™ to be allowed access to your money!"
Then ecommerce sites. "You must have DRM enabled to be allowed to buy anything."
Then comes the social media sites. For your safety, of course...
At that point, the userbase of anything that's not Chrome or not DRM'd to death will be so eroded that virtually everyone else will abandon Firefox support, DRM will get enabled by default. Also, comes the lobbyists to Congress demanding changes to the DMCA to throw users in prison who dare to try to crack the DRM to block ads. "Ad-blocking is stealing!"
And there are plenty of groups out there that know how to create ...engaging... videos, specifically for the purpose of getting people to hate the Other of the Week. Wouldn't want the peasants to figure out who's really screwing them...
The point of suggesting this was to make the process of renaming the communities a little easier. Users do have to be led around by the nose, don't they?
An actual treason prosecution is incredibly difficult and hasn't been done in over a century, IIRC, thus Seditious Conspiracy would be more likely - easier to prove and easier to prosecute.
I wonder how hard it would be for Lemmy devs to put in an aliasing feature, say so when a user goes to c/politics, it'll automatically switch to c/uspolitics or something like that... That would make this easier.
I'm betting any genuine anti-aging therapy is going to be a complex mess of many treatments. Top off the telomeres, error-correct the DNA, roto-rooter the arteries, reprogram cells, etc...
Oh this absolutely is right-wing ratfucking. I presume the intent is to divide & weaken Democrats, but RFK Jr. is one of maybe three Democrats that are anti-vax, so I'm seeing RFK's campaign experiencing a failure to launch.
