Oh, okay. I found the option. Just didn’t know that was a thing.

That’s not anti-echohamber. That’s the algorithm reinforcing the anti-trans propaganda that drives clicks and views on most platforms. Controversy is sensational, and anger provokes responses.

Replace “woman” with “Black” in this rant and it sounds just like someone trying to make reparations look bad by strawmanning its supporters.

I agree that neoliberal capitalism has (largely successfully) used feminism as a way to distract from society’s real problems. But this ain’t it.

Because who is going to operate the servers?

Originally with RCS it was the carrier, but basically every carrier switched to using Jibe (by Google) for the backend.

And it sounds like Apple is going to operate their own as well.

That’s the point. To many, they didn’t matter and still don’t. Which is abhorrent.

What about people who can’t be vaccinated?

That’s definitely a valid concern, I don’t think private enterprises should hold the secrets to protecting people from deadly diseases.

I’m amenable to the idea of getting first dibs on an idea you came up with (software, hardware, fiction…), but it’s been clearly abused to an insane degree by corporations who want to make a quick buck.

“Your body, your choice” has a limit once a super dangerous pathogen shows up and people start refusing the best tool we have to stop it for increasingly batshit reasons.

If you choose not to vaccinate, you’re directly putting everyone else you interact with at risk. So there’s a limit

Yes, exactly. That’s the point.

It’s not surprising, started with the Nexus devices really.

Oh, I’ve noticed that. Does the dev know about it?

I completely disagree with this, but that’s probably because I actually have a photo gallery as opposed to a set of files.

Here’s an issue that people won’t talk about that they need to: the right to commit crimes. Just because something is illegal doesn’t mean it’s immoral, and the growing belief on multiple fronts that a criminal justice system should be “perfect” is what’s driving a lot of the erosion of privacy rights, among other things.

I joined lemmy.world because it was the biggest.

Defederation didn’t seem to be an issue at first, though I would like to know what exactly I’m missing out on (within reason… Not a fan of bigotry) But the performance issues are making me wonder if I should switch.

EDIT: I do kind of want to be on an instance that federates with both lemmy.world and beehaw. Any recommendations?

Only Up? More like only dashing face first into spikes as your jaded ego throws shade at you.

Technical question, what library / ad network is this?
