Fediverse

I don't think there's a good reason to be worried about this aspect of my "privacy," and I think the people who care are borderline chemtrail-level mistaken about how this data is used.

I am pro data collection, as a whole.

i'm like somewhat computer literate but ive basically just come to the conclusion that online privacy is sorta unobtainable so its a myth anyways. if someone much more clever than me wanted my online history they can probably find it through some tech trick ive never heard of. the main defense i have is that no one fucking cares about what ive done online because im not anyone with any political influence and i don't commit crimes, so theres just 0 incentive for anyone to steal my shit or care in the first place

No shit! Think of how stupid the average normie is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

The average person also doesn't care about their own right to free speech or their right to bodily autonomy or agency over their own lives.

There's people out there that jumped at the chance to have an ID chip put under their skin and to have a QR code associated with all their identity info.

People don't realize the threat of centralized supreme authority that's accountable to no one. And it's really sad.

I get downvoted for being in favor of free speech, because I bring up free speech rights whenever someone says something bigoted. If you don't support the free speech rights of the people you hate the most then you're against free speech. Censoring a bigot is only going to make them double down on their beliefs. But reaching out and having a civil conversation with a bigot can make them realize that the people they hate are going through the same problems they are.

Everyone gets fucked on their taxes, everyone is getting a lower wage than what their employer could give, everyone is paying more rent than they should, everyone is paying a higher interest on their debts than they should.
