  • It’s nice to see someone questioning these things and not ignoring the fact that you’d still have to use the platform even for self hosting. There’s been a lot of mastodon instances of people acting in bad faith, there was even someone who had the FBI take their hard drive with everyone’s posts on it. This isn’t inherently safer at all it’s just not run by those large corporations. What about hosting something where people in other countries have different laws? No one seems to talk about that much either. Also the guy who made mastodon wants to partner with Meta anyway and people are arguing in favor of that. What was the point? On lemmy, are the posts truly deleted if you can recover them or if there is a backlog of comments and changes sitting somewhere? This isn’t for people who care about privacy and it’s not discussed enough and oftentimes when it is it seems the person or people get piled on and it goes nowhere.


  • I simply said in response to someone else that was frustrated about this sort of content in the technology instances, that I agreed this particular article doesn’t belong here. As for what you said, it seems you are pulling meaning out of thin air and trying to apply it to me in bad faith which I do not appreciate so I will not be answering those things. You can certainly see other comments that seem to agree with that stance, as well as this being a junk/clickbait article so maybe you could ask them instead.
