I always knew this day was coming. I’ve got a long online post history, and most of it is very critical of the government, and extremely critical of Trump and MAGA. If they are targeting critics, sooner or later my name is going to come up.
Not on here, but same. I’ll save you a seat in the gas chamber we’ll inevitably end up in
At this point I kind of look forward to it. Survival instinct doing it yourself is so strong.
Yeah, I put in 12 years and almost a million Karma on Reddit before I was permabanned in the post-Inauguration bloodbath, along with thousands of others, for a statement which I had posted numerous times without so much as a warning.
They obviously took note of my opinions, and my willingness to express them, and decided that this was a new Trump era, and they immediately decided to grovel, and give me up, along with all the others. If they didn’t have a file on me before, they do now.
I was watching this yesterday. She talks about the way the government pushes private companies to follow out their spying basically.
We already gave out freedom and rights away a long time ago. Everything is just for show.
Honestly I’m convinced these news stories are just for show to bend the average person’s mind to believe they don’t already have all your digital data.
No one should feel safe using any of the top brand tech. …and sadly you can’t feel safe using the smaller companies either.
The fact a war hasn’t started already is kind of mind blowing and really shows the American spirit of freedom is all bullshit. No one wants to admit reality they just want to continue this odd half-life escapist lifestyle that gets marketed to them by the people that use them.
You definitely can’t feel safe using Lemmy either
There really is no privacy at all anywhere.

If you have your own instance you have access to user comment and post history (even if deleted), voting history, IP address, and more for every other instance you’re federated with.
Lemmy is by no means privacy focused.

Do you really think you can’t export data from your own instance?
And why are you making the assumption that an instance is being seized by law enforcement? They almost certainly have their own instances just for data collection.

The only way Lemmy works is by sharing all of that data with all of the other federated instances. With your own instance you can choose whether or not to ingest all of that data.
And the point is that you wouldn’t know whether an instance is owned by the feds. There doesn’t even have to be any activity on the instance. Literally anyone can do this at any time and no one would know.
