      It’s almost doublethink, people celebrating how the Fediverse is an open protocol for sharing public discussion and then going surprised-Pikachu at the notion that public discussion might be viewed by someone the don’t want to view it.

      If you don’t mean for something to be public, don’t post it on a public forum.

        That’s why I think the final iteration of the fediverse will be a mostly defederated bunch of echochamber bubbles. People don’t actually want diverse opinions. They want a diverse group of people to share their opinion so that they can feel theirs is the dominant, right one. Give it 5 years and the fediverse will be just as much walled off and divided as the rest of the internet is now.

        People like to complain about the evil’s of humanity and yet always seem to act like it’s forced upon us by some outside force. Like the 1% are a different species and not just glowing examples of our worst traits cranked up to max. Like someone else is making humanity act this way. But nah, it’s just us and our nature. And until we understand and address that properly, none of our problems are going anywhere.

          The point of the Fediverse is decentralization. The services don’t have to talk to each other at all, but they all use the same open ActivityPub standard, so they can by virtue of what that standard is capable of providing.

      No shit Sherlock!

      People who know how to use a forum aren’t the ones who need to know a public forum is public.

      What kind of gotchas did you think you were making?

      I remember when the FediPact people were saying various fediverse instances needed to defederate from Threads because Meta was going to use it to scrape comments…

      My brother in Christ, you’re spewing your comments in a million directions with the ActivityPub protocol. They don’t even have to scrape, and defederating them won’t do shit.

    And since it wasn’t ever a secret that these services are for data harvesting, they got next to nothing from me. I mean does it make a substancial difference if they sell your data or use it to get to know you so they can do targeted advertising… Or train an AI with it? I’d say the latter isn’t even that bad compared to the other business model. But yeah, be cautious about these tech companies. Generally speaking they’re not invested in your privacy. On the contrary. If you value that, use other services. And it’s been that way for quite some time.

    Deleted my Facebook in my freshman year of college in 2006 because a terrible person from my hs died from a drug overdose. I posted something like “death is sad but he was not a good person and i won’t miss him” and got jumped on by a bunch of people i already thought were annoying, so i said “fuck this whole website”. It was still when you needed to be in a school to join.

    It’s been a crazy ride all these years watching all the terrible things that Facebook does, and people just keep using it. Helped elect trump. Steals and launders art. Takes advantage of all your data. Fosters terrorism and crimes. Just a huge shit hole. “but it has its own built in craigslist!” 🙄😒

      Im not one to say you can never speak ill of the dead, but man to bash someone right after they die among a group of people that likely includes his friends requires a special type of social cluelessness, or straight up being a bad person.

        He died in hs. I was in college. It was years later. Thanks for saying I’m basically retarded or a straight up terrible human because of a short post on the internet about Facebook.

        You are the reason i left Facebook. I’ll just block you here on lemmy.
