  • I’ve used Tuta for years, paid account with multiple custom domains.

    I prefer them for their principles, but their clients are extremely frustrating. Emails load very slowly and their email search is basically unusable.

    I’ve resorted to downloading old emails and using other clients to import and search through them. I really wish they would improve their email search.

    I can honestly say Ive never used x or twitter. I absolutely hate the format and it seems like a waste of life to scroll through a feed reading quick snippets of text.

    At least with a reddit or Lemmy style social media platform, I can click on the text snippet and be brought to a more in depth post about it. And it’s simple to navigate replies for useful information.

    Twitter is like somebody yelling something from a megaphone, then a crowd of people screaming over them randomly.

    Discord is the next platform that needs to die. Online forums were perfect for what they did, then discord came along and now it’s a nightmare to comb through any type of community or support system for useful information. Again, people screaming into the void…


  • I’m not disagreeing that a Nazi salute is hate speech. Im disagreeing that it’s a sensible course of action to give the government the power to put a human being in a cage for doing it.

    Using racial slurs is also hate speech, should a person be imprisoned for using the n-word?

    Where it becomes punishable via government intervention to me should be a direct threat of violence on a group of people or call to action to do so.

    I’m trying to comprehend what the intended outcome of this type of punishment is anyway. Out of sight, out of mind I guess?


  • Yes, stripping somebody of their freedom for using a hand gesture is dystopian. Maybe consider that you thinking otherwise makes you a radical on the other side of the spectrum.

    There’s a reason fascism is becoming more popular across the globe and it’s accelerated by these overreactions. It feeds into right wing narratives and pushes people on the fence into becoming radical right more than just letting these idiots babble their bullshit and be seen for the fools they are.











  • Yeah pimeyes absolutely needs to be shut down and laws need to be in place to protect private citizens from having their information sharable and searchable without their explicit consent. “Publicly available information” is always the line people use to defend these services. I’m arguing that our modern capabilities needs to be adjusted for. Things shouldn’t be so publicly accessable in the first place and personal data aggregation should be a much more vetted and potentially licensed business. Can we talk about what other purpose these facial recognition databases serve other than to stalk, expose, or extort people? If they required proof of identity and only allowed searches of your own face then I could understand the value.
