Yeah, interacting with Lemmy content is pretty much the same as it is here

Good to know they are working on it.

I block politics in general. If I want to discuss politics, I’ll do it with people in real life (or online with people I know in real life). I use social media mostly for entertainment and “why thing not work no more?” Kind of stuff.

There is a setting that says port forwarding in the desktop and Android apps but I’ve never used it. If it helps, I did turn it on once to see what it was and it picks a port for you which afaik can be important.

Yeah I think PIA is a golden example here. They’ve got RAM-only servers so they have no data to turn over in the first place.

No I’m relying on people to protect their own data, I’m saying that platforms should too. Edit: also most of the time they don’t have to turn over anything but do so willingly, they should say no unless presented with a valid warrant.

This kind of surveillance should be something every platform fights against. Remember that the government does not own you and they are only entitled to any of your data at all when necessary to uphold the law and under a warrant. Protect your right to privacy or they will use what you do I private to justify stripping you of all your other rights in the name of justice they will at that point no longer uphold.

JD Vance is crazy

Should be illegal to have touchscreen controls in a car, it requires you to look at it to effectively control it, which means the car forces you to ignore the road to do anything.
