      Honestly though, maybe this is unpopular, whatever, I’m glad there aren’t as many people here that’s why I like it.

        We have no lack of good people, I dare say we have more good people on any one of those services then the entirety of the top pane.

          We have the best people. All the geniuses say were the best. They have the worst people. It’s not even a match.

            Slightly different here, when Reddit put the writing on the wall, The people with the lowest tolerance for bullshit left. The signal to noise ratio over there went way up. As the quality dropped off, we saw more waves of people coming this way.

            Basically, the people that are left over there are kind of willingly swimming in filth. It’s a filtering event really. Even including the bots, tankies, whatever this is, it’s far less toxic over here on a thread to thread community to community basis.

        Theres way more helpful people here. It’s a gamble if you’ll ever get a reply when asking for help on reddit, but here it’s almost guaranteed.

    The fediverse is still being monitored, though… Everything we comment and post here is freely available to anyone interested for any purpose.

              YouTube does depending on the content you upload I had to validate my own documents with Google because a small animation I had posted had made use of copyrighted stuff, and when I went to edit it to remove the copyrighted music, it kept nagging to “validate who I am”

          No, it does depend on instance admins for how it is used. Viewing Mona Lisa doesn’t make every tourist its owner.

            I um… what? We’re discussing privacy and external monitoring. Ownership is irrelevant. I think you might be crossing discussions, but just look at the OC.

              Much of the spying on people is done for monetary gains, which would be illegal if the platform doesn’t sell the rights to the content.

              E.G. Reddit sold comment usage rights to OpenAI for $60,000,000 USD.

                Phew! I’m so glad you told me that, because we know no company or individual ever did anything illegal. DuPont hasn’t poisoned the whole planet, and OpenAI didn’t admit stealing content is the only way their business model can work.

                  If they could steal everything with no repercussions then they wouldn’t be paying for the data,

          The nazi symbol is always drawn in one way (卐). while the religious symbol can be drawn any direction, i usually see it the other way around (卍). could be that religious users want to distance themselves from shaved morons…

            most of the people that use it hatefully don’t know that and don’t care. it’s used both ways for hate, makes it really hard to differentiate.

      Pepe might as well be Lemmy face now as widespread as it is. I see him used on steam profiles and Facebook friends who have zero connection to conservative anything. They just think he’s cute and usable in millions of ways.

      He is, admittedly.

      The frog is being used by a lot of people tho. I have many friends and colleagues who use it for whatever and they’re definitely not Nazi’s. Not everything being used by idiots needs to be instantly banned, they don’t deserve that power
