      It’s almost doublethink, people celebrating how the Fediverse is an open protocol for sharing public discussion and then going surprised-Pikachu at the notion that public discussion might be viewed by someone the don’t want to view it.

      If you don’t mean for something to be public, don’t post it on a public forum.

    I did have user way back, allthough I think those were set to private at the time. What’s funny about this is that thanks to this practice I don’t approve of, I get to use self hosted AI models based on llama that are actually pretty good, without sharing data with facebook or any other company.

    Deleted my Facebook in 2006 because a terrible person from my hs died from a drug overdose when i was in my freshman year of college. I posted something like “death is sad but he was not a good person and i won’t miss him” and got jumped on by a bunch of people i already thought were annoying, so i said “fuck this whole website”. It was still when you needed to be in a school to join.

    It’s been a crazy ride all these years watching all the terrible things that Facebook does, and people just keep using it. Helped elect trump. Steals and launders art. Takes advantage of all your data. Fosters terrorism and crimes. Just a huge shit hole. “but it has its own built in craigslist!” 🙄😒

      Im not one to say you can never speak ill of the dead, but man to bash someone right after they die among a group of people that likely includes his friends requires a special type of social cluelessness, or straight up being a bad person.
