I’m back. Still nothing.

But doxing is illegal 🤪

Omg. That is the only yt merch I’ve ever purchased. I got a shirt and a print! Big ups fellow listener!

Also, mass bot’ing of votes can critically stifle online discussion. Without visibility what course of action can one take to defend themselves aside from making unverified claims of manipulation.

The people complaining about privacy have it fucked up imho.

Lemmy wasn’t built for privacy. It was built to combat censorship and they are not synonymous. Again, imo hiding any sort of public engagement or impressions is just more censorship.

To simplify my point, were all here to engage with one another, so unless your being an asshole or aren’t living up to your own values whatcha gotta hide?

“That dude commented saying he doesn’t like cats. Get him!”

See how stupid that sounds?

EDIT: I downvoted the above post… 😬

Sir Elon Epstein Musk already removed the ability to see likes… I wonder what his motive was… 🫤

My answer is yes to the original question. I speak with my votes, my comments, and my engagements. If I wanted to be separated in anyway from this I would just use an alt. Hell though, I even gave up on having a porn alt on twitter and I just own it if I like something. 🤷‍♂️

When you’re finished palying that please take a look at these slides

I’m gonna have to rethink my strategy…

My brothers and I would use these cds as throwing stars. Then we found out they explode if you throw em at a concrete wall. I’m sorry for all the microplastic pollution 😭

Just imagine the sound of that thing slapping your moms ham like a pinwheel kite

Whoa there dirty Dan…

What are people’s thoughts on MetaGER? I started using it when I switched over to librewolf web browser and I really like the base free option, it looks like they have a monetization model but I haven’t looked into it much.

I tried SearchXNG a couple of times but it never stuck. Ashamed to say but google is still used as a backup a lot of time.

This should be front and center, caching won’t be able to make up for that…

I’m surprised I’ve only seen one mention of the good ol’ Stumbleupon.com, I used to spend hours alone and with friends just hopping from one random thing to another. Found some pretty cool stuff too.

I knew exactly who you were linking to before I clicked, mans like the new Rick roll fr.

Troglodytes you say? Hmm… sounds like a case for TROGDOOOOOOORRRR!!!

BURNINATING THE COUNTRYSIDE, BURNINATING THE FASCISTS… AND THEIR MUSHROOM COTTAGES!

Searched for this, knew that it was the one before I clicked the link, was not disappointed. Thank you

Also, college humor… 13 years… I feel old

First of all, tacos are friends, not food…

Secondly, I think it’s more important what they did to achieve this goal, locking down the API behind a paywall was their way of creating value in their data. They knew then that it would be too expensive for independent developers to pay for but didn’t care. They knew the money would be coming AI data brokers.
