So it can steal your credentials and hack your accounts! Duh!

I can only get so federect!

More important than that is how the Black settlement of Seneca Village was siezed through eminent domain, and razed to build Central Park:

Definitely not concern trolling. Just finally thinking about all this stuff. Thanks for the insight.

I’m not all that concerned with ACTUAL privacy/encryption but rather more concerned with lower-level things like stalking, harassment, employers doing research about their employees’ non-work habits, insurance companies, etc.

I’m not talking about doing anything illegal and hiding from authorities who can use forensics on your data. Just general anti-corporate snooping and anti-harassment privacy protection.

I believe how it works is the comment from the user on the defederated instance and ALL child comments of it do not show up on your instance. So it’s as if that conversation just stopped after the last person from an instance that you’re federated with commented. You wouldn’t see anything from defederated commenters or the replies to them, even if they are replies from Instances you’re still federated with.

Login to Beehaw and check out a post from a Lemmy.ml community on it, and then look at that same post while logged into Lemmy.world and you should see the differences - because Beehaw defederated from Lemmy.world.

I think the problem here is:

Moderators of lemmy.ml are removing posts and comments which are critical of the Chinese government and are banning their authors.

Is that not a problem, in your view?

This is very cool. How do you mention people/bots on lemmy?

Is Amy Goodman enough for you?

You’re absolutely right. It will lead to nothing other than civil war. Which is how Putin will spin it - he’ll try to say that since Wagner are nazis, that they were actually working WITH the Ukrainian Nazis and NATO against Russia etc. blah blah blah

Probably not. But Wagner group doesn’t have the manpower to subjugate the entirety of Russia either.

This is not good. Wagner Group are literal nazis.

“Sorry, we didn’t mean to reveal that we’re nazis!”

Oh, interesting! I haven’t gotten my head around Mastodon. It just seems like a huge mess, to me. Like, Twitter was a big enough mess on its own, and then Mastodon had to take Twitter and make it like 10x more complicated.

You can’t tell me what to do!

Dude, it sounds like you are doing the right thing. The best thing to do when you feel like this is to just separate from it and get some perspective and figure yourself out. It sounds like some therapy might be helpful, as there might be some sort of paranoia going on as well. That helped me a lot, personally. Good luck to you!

Exactly!
