    1. Mark hasn't learned his lesson because look at the data they are trying to collect. He's trying to collect so much data that it has become a meme. Do you realize how much information can be captured by using that new Twitter replacement? It seems like you just plugged your ears, screamed "Lalalalala", then buried your head in the ground
    2. "He learned his lesson" was also used by a senator to justify trump and he then led a coup against the US government. The rich don't learn lessons, they get slaps on the wrist. Nothing has changed from 2016 when this all went down.
    3. The government will NOT do anything because they are lobbied by ISP providers. There's no reason for them to make any changes because they are making bank as is. We peasants don't pose any risk and we certainly aren't making the elected officials millionaires so why should they listen to us?

    I wrote my senior paper at university on data collection and facebooks role in all that. You are so off base with your comment, it's sad. That "paranoid nerd" you just shit on is entirely right and you sound like a reductionist oaf

    Don't forget that the groups they targeted were as small as 10 people. Facebook is the reason our world is a shit as it is now. Fuck meta. Fuck Facebook. Fuck all of them. I despise them with deeper hatred than 99.99% of the things I have ever known

    Thank you for the information, my guy!

  • Grant Grant 1y ago 100%

    I wish the Super Smash Bros Lemmy was more active. I wanted to message the owner to offer to mod because Sunspider helps with Lemmy.world and has their hands full probably but can't figure out how to do that on Jerboa.

    SSB is one of the first video games I ever played and I've been active for over 20 years in this series. The Nintendo Switch does not make it easy to pull my files so it's a little harder to save and post clips unlike BotW or other games

  • Lemmy's total users continues to soar from 240k yesterday to 360k today! Basically quadrupling in the past 4 days
  • Grant Grant 1y ago 100%

    I saw that one of the largest Lemmy's hadn't had 3 names taken that are high value (to me at least) so I snatched up the three I use often or really wanted. I've always dreamed of being one of the like Phil@gmail.com and now I am!

    I was in your comments last night with the 240k and was floored. The fact it jumped overnight by ANOTHER 120k is mind-blowing.

    This. Is. Awesome.

    Yeah, the sole mod on r/celebrities was removed without warning and shadow banned

    Honestly, I'm excited! We are potentially the early comers to get the ball rolling if/when a huge number joins. We are the early people (not to discount those who came before everyone coming from reddit originally) that can help out and grow the communities

  • Hypothetically speaking, if Reddit back tracks on their API plan and meets all of the communities expeditions- would you go back to Reddit?
  • Grant Grant 1y ago 100%

    Fuck spez. Even if they reversed their decision, they have made it very clear how much they will take control if they don't get their way. They have repeatedly mistreated the mods, devs, and community. They slandered a man with lies that could end his career because of why? To gain social points?

    Spez has shown what reddit really is and I am done

  • happy to say I just got banned from the donald community
  • Grant Grant 1y ago 83%

    I've noticed that instances christian, maga, conservative, and theDonald all have low counts comparatively to most instances. The highest I saw the other day was 120 or so but most were like 40-80

    The post by the Apollo creator was the final nail for me. It really laid everything out there pretty well. Let it go be Tumblr somewhere

    What caused me to just delete the app and my account is the post by the Apollo creator today. When you see it all put together, it's really shameful how poorly the community, moderators, and devs are treated. It was a huge post and on popular
