- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

It is a digital slavery system. If a different business model prevailed, the stalkerware junk could be removed. That realigns news with meritocracy. The right to own a part of people to manipulate and exploit really is the fork in the road where everything went wrong for civil rights.
Inherited wealth is the other major issue. Large scale inherited wealth is civilization scale terminal cancer. Business acumen and intelligence are not hereditary in humans. Meritocracy rules all things. Without meritocracy the system always fails. War is usually the only way to fix the lack of meritocratic hierarchy. Japan is one of the only countries that has solved the issue civilly by preventing most of the wealth transfer. Those that cannot lead turn to exploitation as their only form of business that is reliable for returns. You cannot get more exploitive than "You will own nothing..." You have no autonomy or self determination as a citizen when you own nothing. The reason you own nothing is the chain of legislative tyranny that is rooted in digital slavery and stalkerware of the "free„ internet.
