Yeah... No. Pick any other reputable company.
Edit: I think this paints the picture pretty clear... So worth adding to the discussion. Note the domains that are voting for this post vs not.
I think this is poor form, and I won’t be surprised or sad if your one-person instance gets defederated by other instances for this kind of behavior.
Activitypub information is public by design. Kbin users for instance can see this information openly. There's nothing poor form here. My instance also isn't 1 user. But whatever floats your boat.
Edit: It's also well known...

As I said, we know all of this. You’re just repeating yourself.
I'm sorry, where did I repeat anything?
This would be the first time in this thread I've said anything about it.
If "we all know this" then why state "I think this is poor form"?
Who's de-federating kbin then? Nobody? Well then...
So we now who is on Lemmy.ml, got it
Didn't know my own analytics is Democrat/Washington run. I guess I should go yell at the people OPNsense (Suricata), WAZUH, and Crowdsec. They must be injecting false notifications about my networks being targetted by shit from Russia and Chinese owned IP space!
It's an abuse of power to read the post that's sent to my email? Well shit! Even for a moderator you seem to not even understand how lemmy works. Let me enlighten you. I got an email with your post in it because you responded to me. What an abuse of Administrative power! Forget that 100% of activitypub network is openly published and thus viewable by anyone... Ooops.
Lmfao... you reported my post... and likely blocked/"moderated" it on your instance. Don't really care. To the point though, when 100% of downvotes on a comment is strictly from lemmy.ml or lemmygrad.ml instances. Yes, you're shills, not a single opposing opinion between you. No discourse. No actual thought process occurring. Just "Russia/China good, rest world bad". No nuance at all.
You also failed to address your stance that you published. Why is it that every other platform you originally listed was a problem where Kaspersky isn't?
Wait a second! I though NO serious security people are Russophobe? Are you changing your story now?
You have the evaluation backwards... Outside people are coming to different consensuses based on opinions and experiences that's normal... It's lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml that don't. I would EXPECT that results were mixed, but for your instance it never is. You seem to have missed the point.
They literally do. Have you not heard of the great firewall? The vast majority of the internet is unusable to China... and requires a VPN to access anything. Hell, I'd say the lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml instances acting as hiveminds downvoting anything critical of Russia/China is also evidence of this. It's OKAY to be critical of a government.
Not even close. I evaluate everything as I see it. You seem to be making a lot of assumptions here. Kaspersky has strong ties to the Russian government that is sufficient to warrant any "serious security" person to evaluate a different solution.
Yet bitdefender is a problem... And you can't address why Kaspersky would be any different... Talk about parroting.
Crows (Corvid family) are the smart birds... You mean pigeon.
Edit: Actually come to think of it? Why the ravenous defense of Kaspersky at all? It's just an anti-virus software no? Why does me disagreeing with the use of Kaspersky in this instance warrant "makes you look like the worst slurs I could summon for an incompetent clown." Don't you see how unreasonable you look? How you look like a frothing lunatic?
I think you’re so far up the imperial core’s ass that you’re triggered by the least hint of nuance. If anyone’s a shill here, I think it’s you.
Yes, we know how Activitypub and kbin/mbin work.
Others seem to disagree.
My sincerest apologies: three user instance 🙄
That's fine. You/them can disagree all you want. Just realize that they're using it too. I just disagree with the default Lemmy stance that users can't see something that everyone else on the fediverse(including moderators and admin on any federated instance) can. And if they want to defederate me for that. I'm not sure I care. I've been defederated from one instance so far... it's not been a major loss and definitely doesn't weigh on my conscience at all.
I have no interest in disclosing how many users are using my instance. They can post things if they want. That's up to them. Many are just lurkers though.
You could just do a Windows defender offline scan.
Yeah I didn't say it was perfect but does happen to be baked it
