    You stay far, FAR away from that shit, is what you do.

    Scanning people’s entire history for political leanings, etc? That’s some deeply dystopian stuff right there.

    It’s easy to forget that these sorts of communities are dictatorships with only as much transparency as the owner wants to share. Usually they’re benevolent dictators, so we don’t think about it too much. But they can change in a heartbeat - and we don’t ever really know what they’re really thinking, or doing behind the scenes.

    When the mask slips and they reveal this sort of thing, thinking we’ll just accept it and keep living under their rule, it’s time to read the red flags and GET OUT.

    Hopefully someone compiles a list of places that do this stuff, so we can avoid them like the plague <3











  • I use the Boost app for Lemmy so it basically feels exactly like the ideal Reddit experience felt back then, which is fantastic.

    As for being put off, the only thing that really bothers me is the extreme hatred for Windows and the deepthroating of Linux. It’s creepy.

    Like, I love Linux and use it for many things alongside Windows, but I don’t get obsessively weird about it to the point of creating memes or going out of my way to tell people why they’re wrong for using one over the other, you know?

    If that were toned down I’d certainly feel a little more relaxed, but on the whole the Lemmy experience has been lovely <3
