This type of censorship never stops. There’s no doubt in my mind as this trend continues we’re going to see other taboo communities like piracy, not mainstream accepted politics, etc. ones being banned and their servers defederated.

We’ve already seen admins of this server removing comments and banning people for posting stuff they don’t agree with. I don’t see how Lemmy can succeed when we’re not even at like 2.5k users per day on the biggest server and the admins here are already going extreme on the censorship.

There are mandated back doors in most message apps.

I don’t see this happening. Apple to/from Android are the only texts that the government can easily snoop on.

Apple isn’t okay. Apple is forced onto developers. The general population using Apple products requires developers to use Macs. And, last time I checked, it’s a lot easier carrying around one laptop than two. It also doesn’t hurt that Apple products aren’t exactly the quality of off-brand Chinese laptops.

Why aren’t you a communist?

No, it’s not my server. It’s well known file host that allows anyone to upload anything to it.

If you care enough, just open it up in a private window or a new profile. Also, unless you don’t want whoever is between you and their server (if anyone is) knowing you watched a TikTok video of a woman going around asking other woman what their car payments are, bad SSL settings is whatever.

I just didn’t want to deal with people complaining about “A TIKTOK? ON MY LEMMIES?”

Either way, I can’t win with you people.

I saw this on TikTok and it’s been burned into my brain since.

The amount of money seemingly regular people are dumping into car payments is unreal.

Nobody actually lives in a capsule hotel

I mean.

There have to be people living in capsule hotels in Japan. There are people in Japan living in computer cafes, where the lights are on 24/7. Japan isn’t all sunshine and roses. Tons of people barely hanging on and these cheap ass places let them have at least some sort of dignity. If you work any job in Japan, odds are you’ll have a roof over your head. Same can’t be said in the US, where many homeless people have jobs and can’t afford to be protected from the elements.

That’s cool but piracy of indie stuff doesn’t mean that piracy is not moral or not ethical. Piracy is always very moral and ethical. Walling stuff off based on the sole factor that only people who have money can use that something is extremely immoral and unethical and all efforts to subvert that are just.

You think everyone who upvotes or participates in the bashing of Microsoft is a “open-source Linux nerd”? You think people who use Windows love Windows and love their business practices and don’t have a history of being shafted?

Just unbelievable with you people.

I see more comments like this than comments of these boogeyman you guys speak of. You guys are doing your own little circlejerk, thinking you’re cool and smart.

Every circumstance it is moral and ethical.

I’ve put countless elderly individuals like yourself onto PopOS! and they’re getting by just fine. This sounds like a you problem.

I had to fire up a Windows VM yesterday. Holy shit its gotten so bad. Glad I don’t need to deal with that shit on a daily basis anymore. I wish people weren’t so scared of Linux.

Once they hired that former cop who bragged about using these RPI’s for “legal” surveillance police operations, I was done with them. This goes completely against the DIY spirit. There are so many better options out there without cops and without snarky Twitter social media managers.

Piracy is good.
