So, I’ve been on Lemmy since the great Reddit exodus a couple years ago, and back on Reddit though, there were discussions on Data Poisoning, where since it was nigh unto impossible to keep your data private, people would poison their data with all sorts of extraneous information, so companies couldn’t tell what data was accurate and what wasn’t.

But, here on Lemmy, I haven’t seen any discussions about the topic. Are people still poisoning their data? Why haven’t I seen any discussions about it? Is it still discussed, just not on the instances I’ve seen?

    Hmmm, top comment in an asklemmy thread is a joke, and the mods do nothing after 17+ hours?

    We sure are speedrunning the reddit irrelevance arc aren’t we?

    As is tradition, both you and your instance are now blocked

      I think the fact that their comment is the top comment indicates that the general populace of Lemmy like their comment, and to try and censor or block is just bizarre. It’s like telling the community what they can and can’t think.

        Yep and asshats just like you made this exact same fucking argument every day as reddit slid downhill and look where they are now

        Your idealism is naive

          Reddit was malmanaged by a money-hungry C-suite and investors. Blaming the downfall of reddit solely on the users is naive.

            Oh trust me I had an ongoing feud with the reddit C-suites long before the drumpf enshittining.

        I’m trying to figure out how to encapsulate the idea that ‘Being okay with those kind of jokes is what turns a forum sour through adoption by idiots that don’t think its being ironic’ before I get bored and block you, and I failed.
