The more important thing: anyone can see their posts now. This is rather crucial for a government institution’s feed and not true on Twitter anymore.

This has existed for a while and can be used by anyone: https://github.com/ggerganov/kbd-audio

There’s a difference between making a vim reference and “oh, a mourning family message? quick, i must find a stale joke to crack for internet points”

Feel free to tell yourselves this is respectful. I think some people here have been on the internet for too long.

Poor taste.

Nope, your app should be able to send you there by clicking that ID. If it isn’t, then that’s likely a feature that is still being implemented (it’s the equivalent to r/subreddit on Reddit).

Btw in case you haven’t noticed, you’re already commenting on a Post from lemmy.world, so no, you don’t need a separate account.

This is some !nottheonion@lemmy.world stuff

At the time Facebook fueled a genocide in Myanmar they had practically no moderation for Burmese content, if I recall correctly.

True, but changing this is unfortunately unfeasible with the way the web works. If I just access the URL of a post on instance A, there is no reasonable way for it to know that my home instance is B.

There should at least be a button or something that sends you to your home instance after entering the domain though. Other than that, we’ll have to keep using browser addons and userscripts…

This puts too much blame on the users. Individuals do not have the power to fight international mega corporations. It also ignores that, regardless of who you think is at fault, adtech violates a ton of privacy laws, at the very least in the EU. If a company doesn’t have a legal basis for collecting personal data, they are not allowed to do it. Especially if it is sensitive data like medical information, religion and sexual preferences.

I don’t get why we have to defend these practices or downplay them.

Sure. I just think we shouldn’t turn this observation on its head to give the impression it’s somehow OK to break data protection laws just because there is no technical prevention.

That’s actually how some people think. Wasn’t sure if you were one of them.

The woman behind it has become a kind of conservative celebrity. She doxxes random people, especially teachers who talk about their sexuality on TikTok and sends her minions to harass them. In the past, she has caused bomb threats to children’s hospitals for providing gender affirming care. She is about as despicable as a person can be.

Just because data can be accessed that doesn’t mean it is legal to collect and process it.
