I mean that’s my point. I’d trust Reddit more than some completely random dude to handle my data you know? Why wouldn’t I? At least with a centralized datamining piece of shit I know a part of what the data is used for and they’re not just stalking me waiting to murder me or something. Blindly sharing whatever with some rando who just comes up to you like “hey you want some privacy” is just fucking weird. Some random dude could be any weird fucked up person you know? Maybe I’m over/underthinking this, but sometimes all of this just seems weird.

Thanks for the thorough reply. I’m just wondering, in general, about privacy and shit. Like it’s a big talking point here, how lemmy is so much safer and privacy focused, but then there are these huge oversights regarding some things. Sure it’s great my shit isn’t being monetized for bullshit reasons and ends and ads, but, if all this kind of decentralized thing doesn’t come without it’s own problems. It’s fairly new territory for most people and people easily lull into a comfort you know?

I’m paranoid rambling, but thanks for the reply.

Sorry for the dumb question, I’m thick in the head - since federated content is, well federated, does this mean potentially anyone who makes an instance can see practically everything?

That was a disappointing Where’s Waldo the Nazi. Everyone is either clapping or some shit. Waste of time. At least the dude with the roasted chicken for a hat was fun. 1/5 don’t recommend.

We’re going to have to bet on the finns.

Please don’t, for the sake of us all, it’s the same over here unfortunately.

All of the shit is everywhere already. Fighting this shit is going to have to be a worldwide effort the same way bigots, fascists, nazis etc. are uniting worldwide. There is no place on Earth immune to idiocy, because most people are just idiots and/or fucking suck.

Oh look, an actual sensible comment.

I completely understand that, a 100%. My point still stands, fueling the fire that is the whole problem isn’t exactly doing any good even if it might feel good for a moment. You can’t leave food laying around and then get mad if you get ants. I even understand the want/fantasy/whatever for violence when you’re at the receiving end of it constantly. But there’s tons of comments wondering “how are the comments like this” when you don’t really need all that much brainpower to see why. Stooping to their level isn’t going to do any good and will be used against you by the very people who are privileged/bigoted enough to behave that way and not get shit. Why supply them with ammo is all I’m saying.

And stooping to their level only makes you an asshole, a tad justified one, but an asshole nonetheless. When both sides justify themselves because they’re right or justified or whatever the excuse for violence and bullshit is, it’s just idiots fighting each other. And while this meme could be in response to violence, it doesn’t really read that way - it says respect. If you think you can demand respect, especially by threatening to murder them, from people so clearly uneducated, unintelligent and idiotic that they behave the way these bigoted pieces of shit do, you’re going to have a hell of a hard time with everything in life. Just bashing your own head against the wall. That’s not how respect works either, especially when it comes to people who you surely know aren’t going to do it in any case.

With a post like this, that to them just “proves their point” about whatever, and dressed like this, did you really expect there wouldn’t be any assholes? And from the comments, there’s assholes on both sides in the comments as much as being angry and pissed is only understandable for one side. Every side is right in their own mind even if one side is completely wrong, but you don’t change an idiots view by threatening them or giving them more ammo to attack you with. There’s a ton of comments here that don’t really work in favor of the cause, but even I’m getting attacked just for stating a fact about feeding trolls and being against violence - violence against disrespect, not violence and people are celebrating that. Which again, only works in favor of the bigots on all levels. But it’s clear that there’s no sensible discussion happening in this post so I’m out.

I hope things get better, because the assholes affect all of our lives and make things shitty for everyone but themselves. Stay safe.

Whatever you wanna tell yourself. Learn to read.

Enjoy your hateful delusional circlejerk and all the trolls. An asshole is an asshole no matter what flag they fly.

LMFAO “in good faith”. Stroking your ego and patting yourself on the back for exactly the same kind of behaviour you’re mad at at the people on the other end of the spectrum for? No wonder you’re so salty. Keep fueling the fire that makes you miserable, but don’t cry about it when it burns you.

Sure, buddy lmao. I don’t know what your problem is and I don’t really care. The only one here that’s mad about anything is you. Keep feeding the trolls and wondering why your life is so miserable. Have fun, love.

1. Post trollbait
2. Get trolls
3. Rage about all the trolls
4. WHY IS MY LIFE LIKE THIS?!

You do you, if that’s how you want to live. You’re seriously going to act like this post was a sensible and reasonable opening for discussion? Never did I say anything about discussing violence, but this post isn’t a discussion in any way and you know it.

You expect something that literally threatens people with fatal violence to get sensible discussion? Sure it’s a meme and all, but shit like this is just asking for trolls to start shit. No one should get threatened with violence, even in the form of a meme or a joke and it just gives assholes more fuel and no-one wins.

It had potential to be great, but falls far from that. Some cringe-inducing writing and acting there. It was fun and entertaining enough to watch. Hope the next season is better.

I had to stop watching at some point, it was just too close to home. The overall feeling was just like christmas at home and I don’t go anymore, because I value my sanity more these days. Holy shit what an episode.

People are so different, I feel exactly the opposite. There’s a bunch of games I’d want to play, but most of the time when I’m about to start playing, I’m just overcome with the feeling of “What’s the point? It’s just a waste of time”. When I’m watching a show I’m processing a shit-ton of stuff, emotions, life, depression. Games are just “for fun”. I just don’t seem to get the same out of games no matter how “deep” or whatever they are. I accomplish something in a game, 99% of the time I just feel “Well, I could’ve used all that time and energy doing something real and now I just wasted all that time for some virtual character in a virtual world.”.

NO THERE IS NOTHING IN EXISTENCE OUTSIDE OF MY BUBBLE SO EVERYBODY ELSE IS WRONG AND HAS POOR IMAGINATION AND OPINIONS

If you haven’t seen Wilfred, watch it NOW. It’s amazing. It gets weirder and weirder towards the end. It’s absolutely fucking amazing.
