I hate meta but I so admit if you talk about abortion you need to do on encrypted comms if I said abortion on my Mastodon instance nothing stops the FBI from walking into the data center, ram dump the server, extract the keys and search the main database
I always feel like the issue with the US is wanting to ban things, but not really solve the root of the problem. Like the issue is not TikTok = China, it's big companies can collect data. Like I don't want tiktok to get banned since it is kinda useful and seems to be better than what Google and Meta is releasing.
You have been banned for hate speech reason "@libsoftiktok YOU ARE A HORRIBLE PERSON AND NEED TO DIE, YOU LAUGH AT QUEER PEOPLE DYING" Self termination in 3, 2, 1!
I feel like it's more or less an ethical thing more than anything. I guess in a way it feels stupid coming from me who is using a software built by tankies (who I disagree with)
yeah, I mean that's one take. I feel like it's debatable. I guess them not wanting to use calckey is about the same as me not wanting to use soapbox. I feel like politics of devs matter more when your marginalized, and while calckey issues don't effect me as a mostly white Hispanic I feel like it effects people of color more.
I will be honest, I feel like all foss software has these issues, I use linux and there are so many devs I cannot really say who is who obviously, I just feel like for a ton of people expressly People of color it might be important to use software that isn't against your interest.
I know this!, the issue is 90% of people don't. If the devs on calckey are semi problematic they won't use it and use threads, bsky, or honestly just twitter. I feel like they hold foss software to a higher standard.
Honestly this won't effect me a ton, though I wouldn't be surprised if I have to boot up a windows virtual machine just to check my bank in a few years cause my bank doesn't know what Linux is and doesn't want go trust it. I'm mad about it but given slowly but surely I've been replacing everything with FOSS stuff. I just fear one day they will force you to use corpo approved software to use WiFi , or get cell service
I feel like this is all government stuff, I emailed my senators and like 90% of their response was about children. I feel like we will be fighting until I'm 90 at this rate. Keep in mind most of my generation knows the same amount the boomers do about the internet and nothing more.
Is it only a matter of time until they scan packets with DPS to find encryption and send the police hit squad to your house
