    I’m actually shocked by the growth of threads, I underestimated how much people don’t care about their digital privacy.

      You are using a social network on some random dude’s server.

        That is very true, but I have a little more trust in this random dude’s server where he gets access to what? He sees my IP address? Than a corp that collects an unnecessary amount of user info for the sole purpose of keeping you locked into their apps with little disregard for health. While also pimping your info out to any persons with $2 to their name.

        Any random person is at least a hundred times more ethical than mark Zuckerberg.

          You overestimate the ethics of random human beings.

          Atleast zuck is beholden to pretend to be ethical.

        Yeah I wouldn’t take on hosting a public instance, especially in EU, as it comes with all sorts of legal shite

      Bro. It’s a public forum. What ‘digital privacy’ are you talking about?

        People don’t understand what they’re doing literally signing away their data and accepting these Terms of Service.

          These people are already on instagram. Now they’re just giving their data to Facebook twice.

          What are you talking about? If users are okay with giving up that information then that’s their choice.

          Stop being patronizing and condescending just because people don’t care about the things you do. It’s very childish.

            You’re obviously arguing in bad faith, using ad hominen on everyone with a dissenting view, spamming the hypocritical accusation of others making hollow statements, and you’re also hypocritically emotionally charged in your arguments. You’re either trolling or extremely self-deluded.

                I am calm. Classic baseless claim. Just because you are reacting emotionally to what I’ve written, it does not mean I was emotional when typing it.

                I don’t feed trolls. Get a life.

      Which is why we should federate. People have the choice to use a low availability “private” server hosted by amateurs on lemmy or use something secure and distributed that works 100%.

      A little warning: the site owners on lemmy could be doing many malicious things. The simplest is the ability to drop trackers in the sites header section. However they could have dns based trackers that are invisible to end users. And thats just tracking so far. The only reason we know facebook is a slime bag is years and years of leaks.
