  • GDPR is for companies/corporations to “respect” user’s requests about their data.

    Lemmy (ActivityPub, actually) isnt a company.

    What you are saying is the equivalent of saying that the concept of writing is in direct violation of GDPR.

    What you probably can do is request that an instance remove your content… And then do the same for every single other instance of any platform that implements ActivityPub (and not all of them will even have data coming from you) and is federated with your instance. And the only ones that would really need to comply are those that are based or operating in the EU.

    This is still the internet, not some magical place.

    Use some of the most basic fundamental internet safety rules and don’t provide potentially compromising information for no reason whatsoever. Especially since this isnt a corporation such as Facebook or Google who require you do so in order to use their service.











  • Its not conspiracy, its true.

    Through either conscious design, or purely through the fact that coincidentally addictive designs are going to get higher engagement and therefore more likely to succeed, the vast majority of the economy is built around the rapid and repetitive consumption.

    It bleeds people dry, boosts disinformation and outrage, and has severe psychological and neurological impacts on the people it affects.

    Its seriously one of the worst things about modern society, and is even worse when combined with other issues we as a society face.

    I honestly hope we can survive long enough to shift focus as a society, hopefully then we will see the current in the way we see the past







  • This confuses me as to what the long term appeal of a lemmy or mastodon account is. Would general users be better off joining kBin, while users who want to only interact with mastodon, or only interact with lemmy, and not with each other, would join either lemmy or mastodon?

    It sounds like KBin has the best support for acting as an alternative frontend for lemmy and mastodon. If someone on lemmy links to a mastodon post, or vice versa, you have to leave the instance to go view and interact with the post, but on kBin that could not neccesarily be the case.

    It just seems like having some sort of universal frontend would be the most flexible and not have any downsides.
