In some of the music communities I’m in the content creators are already telling their userbase to go follow them on threads. They’re all talking about some kind of beef between Elon and Mark and the possibility of a boxing match… Mark was right to call the people he’s leaching off of fucking idiots.
You’re proving my point. Everyone here is screaming into the wind when the vast majority have spoken. They’re willing to tolerate the risks. Those risks may be with google, or Facebook, or Lemmy but it’s always risk.
What I see here is a lot of complaints about everyone not being privacy minded from people on soapboxes. We do not represent an “average technical person”. You would be surprised what seasoned InfoSec people do and the tools they use. The path to full privacy is one of isolation and insanity.
Control what you can. It would make a lot of you much happier people.
I don’t think I am proving your point, you’re just not actually reading what I’m saying, or maybe we’re talking about two different things.
You’re talking about “everyone”, while I’m talking about me.
What even is full privacy. My point is that the risks to privacy are many and varied. As I said it’s possible to participate online while making intelligent choices about what privacy we’re willing to give up.
Someone already explained to you the difference between privacy and secrecy, which is quite simple.
Privacy: you don’t want your mother to see a lewd picture from you, but you would want your partner to Secrecy: you don’t want anybody to know you eat poop
