Nah not for that. That’s how I get banned from Lemmy instances. As cool as federation is without terms of service you can see it’s more fragmented as people block instances and people. I doubt Lemmy NSFW would let me make my communites and really, I don’t want to deal with it.

I don’t want to deal with people being shitty about my tastes in fiction.

Yep, the internet used to be counter culture. Now it’s controlled opposition at best.

I love lemmy but it doesn’t have my brands of smut. Reddit still does.

Way ahead. I deleted my Amazon 😉

The fact of the matter is, all major platforms are shifting to techno-fascism. Not all have yet but ALL private tech platforms are not to be trusted. This is not tinfoil hat shit. We have well documented 20 years worth of how these technologies are used against us. Not in American but elsewhere. Stories we heard that were then quickly buried under the other stories. People that pay attention should know how paper thin our digital rights are right now.

I made my switch around the inauguration. When I saw all the big tech guys standing together. That’s a big red flag. Even if reddit wasn’t represented.

My favorite small example of this is trying to watch a video on YouTube. If my VPN is set to United States then im told ‘You can’t watch this unless you log in.’

I switch to Germany and like magic the video plays. So clearly they didn’t need to confirm I wasn’t a bot. They just wanted to track my viewing habits.

They don’t care. If there is no immediate and severe punishment for it then it doesn’t matter if we ‘know.’ In 10 years the only line will be the official one and we’ll just look like conspiracy theorists with half remembered facts. They dont think you’re stupid, they know they’ll get aways with it and they don’t think about you at all.
