Shit site, but not a legal precedent we want to be setting.

The biggest problem is them doing illegal shit like scanning all your photos instead of just what you pick

Fuck tik tok though. CCP propaganda

[-] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 weeks ago

Yup, I only want to see American social media! Because it has no propaganda!

It's less about that and more about stopping an extremely powerful attack vector currently active in your own country.

Literally the biggest reason why the western world is in such a giant political crisis is the weaponization of social media.

100%

Social media 15 years ago: cat pics and friends.

Social media today: shit you didn’t subscribe to, but shows up anyway to push wedge issues in to things you enjoy.

Yeah, kinda miss that era. Luckily Lemmy emulates kinda well, just wish that there were more proper old school forums for nich but large communities like NCD or Rimworld.

had youtube open in a new private window on a vpn connection the other day after clicking a link to a video about the new raspberry pi compute module

was scrolling down thru one of the top comment threads and noticed, sandwiched between relevant tech videos on the right? some talking head, designed to enrage (as opposed to inform) fox news video about nothing related.

I think Im just done with youtube for the forseeable future. if your profit model requires inducing engagement like that, your product isnt good enough to stand on its own, and/or you're ok with being shitty to make more money. either way, I want nothing to do with you at that point.
