Organizing a protest on a platform that not only stores all your data in plaintext but also sells it to advertisers and AI companies seems like a shit move.

Do you support automated posting from RSS feeds?

You first.

Yes you do

I’d argue that maybe it isn’t based on political or religious views

The main argument I see against Lemmy devs is that they’re “tankies”, which is most certainly political. And I agree. Except that there’s nothing in the software itself that is political. Only the devs, and many of the .ml communities and users.

that is the privilege of a list curator.

It can be their privilege and also be censorship. You seem to imply otherwise.

Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information. This may be done on the basis that such material is considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or “inconvenient”. Censorship can be conducted by governments and private institutions. When an individual such as an author or other creator engages in censorship of their own works or speech, it is referred to as self-censorship. General censorship occurs in a variety of different media, including speech, books, music, films, and other arts, the press, radio, television, and the Internet for a variety of claimed reasons including national security, to control obscenity, pornography, and hate speech, to protect children or other vulnerable groups, to promote or restrict political or religious views, and to prevent slander and libel.

They are suppressing information about the fediverse based on political views. They had it up and then they took it down. Please explain how this is not censorship. I don’t know where people get the idea that censorship is an inherently negative thing.

If I’m honest, it’s not convenient either. I stopped using it years ago because I kept getting logged out of my accounts and flagged for “automated activity”. Plus they straight up lie about supporting SMS and RCS. The only “support” they have is connecting it to your Google account.

Theoretically no, all of your messages stored on Beeper servers are encrypted. But they will get all your metadata.

But I wouldn’t worry about that anyway since Discord not only has access to all of your messages but sells them to companies to process for AI. So that’d be the far easier and faster route for them.

Not only is it possible, but people are already doing it.

Depends if you consider Signal “popular”, because based on your own link, the only information they provide is:

No message content., Date and time a user registered. Last date of a user’s connectivity to the service.

There’s privacy and then there’s user experience. UX on Matrix is awful. Not to mention Matrix collects all the metadata, and the vast majority of it sits on a single server (matrix.org), which is owned by a private company and subject to subpoenas.

LOL, Depends who “they” is. The NSA? Sure. Your local PD? No.

What’s far more likely to happen if you do that is that you get caught up in a dragnet and accused of a crime you haven’t committed because they know you were nearby and need a fall guy.

I did read and didn’t see anything about archiving pages.

Why wouldn’t I just use the bookmark manager in my browser?

“If I have one regret… I do wish we had been able to change the way we can elect governments in this country,” he said, referring to his hopes to changing the voting system.

I mean you could have actually tried to do the thing you were elected to do…

There’s a Frigate app within Home Assistant.

Don’t forget to mention Linux. Literally eveywhere.
