…how to file a claim today

Article:

For now, there’s no official settlement site to enter your information. If you’re eligible, you’ll get an email or letter over the next few months. Settlement documents say that notices will start going out on August. 4. When that happens, there will most likely be a site to file a claim.

What a clickbaity shitpost.

no one should be initiating or joining any of these class action suits

The only real downside to doing this is losing the ability to sue individually. What’s your success like so far in your suits?

There also needs to be punishment harsher than a couple bad headlines and $600 worth of identity protection services. If they have personal data, it should be more expensive to have it leaked like this than to have adequate data security in place.

it defeats the entire purpose of Lemmy

Piefed is a separate software, so more aligned with lemmy than a specific instance. Moot point right now, as there’s only a handful of instances.

I think the real answer is less advocating against Piefed (which is getting some preference thanks to QoL additions for community management, I think), but rather advocate for some of the larger communities moving to Piefed to spin up a whole new instance.

As an aside, it seems like mbin isn’t getting any love throughout this process.

I mean, both things can be true?

I don’t think that’s true. They could both be aims, but one would be secondary (or at least not primary).

I don’t think they’re both true at all though. I don’t believe for a second the risk posed by/to users invested enough to root their phones is high enough to warrant this nonsense. The cynical/profitable explanation seems a whole lot more likely, imo.

Not to mention the cost savings difference. Developer salaries make a ChatGPT subscription look like a bargain. C-level salaries make racks of dedicated hardware to run local models look like one.
