Lemmy @lemmy.ml

Lemmit.online changes - Expansion stop and community cleanup

  • Removed as a protest against the community's support for campaigns to bring about the deaths of members of marginalized groups, and opposition to private entities working to prevent such campaigns, together with it's mindless flaming and downvoting of anyone who disagrees.

    As a postscript for this discussion only, be aware that virtually all the replies to my comments quote me out of context, or claim I've made arguments I haven't. It's safe to disregard them.

    Quoted verbatim here, just in case you choose to edit it again.

    The only reason you got downvoted to hell in this thread is because you want to paint everyone who opposes corporate censorship as transgender murder supporters, in, what the article itself describes as a futile, neverending effort.

    And now that you are time and time confronted with the fallacies you employ, you decide to edit all your comments "in protest". Stopping only to call everyone who opposed you even in the slightest an accomplice to murder. Very mature.


    Edit: Ah cute. They delivered another show of their good intent in my DM;

    Fuck off and die you harassing, lying, piece of shit.

    Everyone who disagrees with you must be pro-kiwi huh? I rest my case.

  • Nothing out of the ordinary on commercial platforms where the user is the product, like Google, Facebook, or reddit.

    Here on Lemmy (where most development is done out of charity, and servers are run by donations) it IS the outlier.

  • I agree that "fuck this" might be a bit too strong for some people, I don't think there's anything wrong with "uninstalling", as long as the reasoning behind it is mentioned.

    Edit: I see now that you're talking about hypotheticals, because nobody in this thread is doing that.

  • If its uncivilised to uninstall an app because it's bugs are invading your privacy, then I don't want to be civilised. If anything, I'm doing the author a favour by telling them why I'm using their competitors.

  • Why is it called "Revoke consent"? Consent was never asked during setup, so how can it be revoked?

    Edit: oh great. It doesn't even save your settings for objecting to "Legitimate interest". Uninstalled.

    It's ironic, because the companies who claim to have a legitimate interest in tracking my behaviour are the ones I want to block from tracking me most of all.

  • That's why they're talking about the next generation.

    With AI you can easily generate 100 different ways to say the same thing. And it's hard to distinguish a bot that's parroting someone else from a person who's repeating something they heard.

  • There's some massive misunderstanding about my comment.

    I called it a false equivalency because it's comparing both the measures ("stronger safety") and the thing is supposed to prevent (doxing and bullying) to puppy kicking.

    That's just emotional manipulation done badly. We all call it out when politicians use pedophiles to warrant Internet surveillance, and now apply it ourselves? I don't know about you, but when I see bad reasoning, I'll call it out. Even if it's done by "my side".

  • Kick a puppy

    If you have to resort to false equivalences like these, you're not really making the anti-WEI crowd look good.

  • I still have a ~10 year old Logitech G500 that has finally started to go bad. I've been looking around, and it seems that Logitech's quality has been going down the drain - apparently sometimes clicks get registered as double clicks on recent models?

    Can you (or anyone else who has one) comment on their experience with that?

    PSA: Lemmy.juggler.jp is cleaning up bot accounts, and everybody gets to enjoy. (check if you're affected)
