So it can steal your credentials and hack your accounts! Duh!
I can only get so federect!
I’m on board. I don’t care what anyone says. I’m gonna give it a chance.
Same! Lemmy definitely feels like early Reddit. Before the mods were gods and before shills and spam and porn were the norm.
I'm not all that concerned with ACTUAL privacy/encryption but rather more concerned with lower-level things like stalking, harassment, employers doing research about their employees' non-work habits, insurance companies, etc.
I'm not talking about doing anything illegal and hiding from authorities who can use forensics on your data. Just general anti-corporate snooping and anti-harassment privacy protection.
Like, I feel more inclined to sign up and use something more like Raddle.me instead of lemmy because the owner of that site has a philosophical mission in favor of privacy.
I believe how it works is the comment from the user on the defederated instance and ALL child comments of it do not show up on your instance. So it’s as if that conversation just stopped after the last person from an instance that you’re federated with commented. You wouldn’t see anything from defederated commenters or the replies to them, even if they are replies from Instances you’re still federated with.
Login to Beehaw and check out a post from a Lemmy.ml community on it, and then look at that same post while logged into Lemmy.world and you should see the differences - because Beehaw defederated from Lemmy.world.
You're absolutely right. It will lead to nothing other than civil war. Which is how Putin will spin it - he'll try to say that since Wagner are nazis, that they were actually working WITH the Ukrainian Nazis and NATO against Russia etc. blah blah blah
Probably not. But Wagner group doesn't have the manpower to subjugate the entirety of Russia either.
This is not good. Wagner Group are literal nazis.
You can't tell me what to do!
Exactly. I feel like this is one of those instances of "We're spending time thinking about whether or not we could, when we should be thinking about whether or not we should."
Oh they were. Because they are us.
