Slop.

Let’s stick to the real world, not weird analogies. By default, Lemmy users are presented with an All feed, which includes communities from all instances (except those defederated). When you see one called “games” (at hexbear, whatever that means) and then maybe see its trans flag banner, what’s the reasonable expectation? Discussions about games with people who seem to recognize the value of minority groups and viewpoints, right? And then it turns out those people hijack discussions about gaming to praise or defend totalitarian states who oppress minorities; then they ban, insult and harass you if you disagree. Likewise, what does the notion of China preferring autonomy have to do with Signal in the context of privacy? No reasonable person comes to a privacy community expecting to see praise for China.

Sometimes the only response I can give to a person is linking them resources for live organ donation.

Yes hello, I would like to learn more about privacy.

But don't tell me about threats to my privacy unless I already know about them.

I don't want to change my mental model of the world, I already know everything important.

Why can't I find a community that supports nuanced discussion that falls completely within the confines of CIA propaganda!

I really don't understand the connection this person is making between skepticism/criticism of Signal and authoritarianism. Feels like an excuse to "raise awareness" of shit that everyone has already chosen a side for. Yet another weekly DAE DANKIES BAD post lazily disguised as discourse.

Lemmy.ml, where the ML probably stands for Marxist-Leninist

you know when you say a word like 50 times and it stops sounding like a word anymore? that is what internet westerners have done to the word authoritarian within my mind palace

You're not gonna get good privacy advice from people whose lives aren't threatened by the state.

Oh hey, the Nazi sympathizer is grousing to other Nazi sympathizers!

Quelle surprise!

Here's the c/games post: https://hexbear.net/post/4980896

Lemmy.ml, where the ML probably stands for Marxist-Leninist

It stands for Mali. And was apparently used because they were free

as if it matters when proper e2ee is used

It does, "we kill based on metadata"

This person is a known to me as a drama focused, MoG following, concern troll and should be blocked.

Oh hey, I remember that STALKER thread, I'm in it.

As usual, anti-"tankie" user got caught spouting Nazi apologia (why is this literally 100% accurate). I notice they left out the bit where they justified suppression of the Russian language by referencing, among other things, the USSR daring to oppose Nazism during WW2.

Going on to criticise people for saying the US is a possible intelligence threat is not a surprising progression from there.

"tAnKiEs!"

There's a very ugly tower in my city. It's generally recognized to be an eyesore. Anyway one day we've been invited by somebody living in it. And seeing the landscape, I realized something. From the tower, you can't see the tower.

My point being, at least tankies dont constantly whine about tankies.
