Unfortunately, for him, it totally was and continued to be.

Google […] a privacy disaster

Googles “piracy disaster”

Gets pinged for targeted marketing and also flagged for IP criminal law prosecution

Google… could be a privacy disaster

I didnt say anything about trans people in my original comment and deliberately didnt quote the original post as its language disgusts me

So why did you repeat the “mental illness” part?

If you really mean what you’re saying just take the L this one time and move on.

was simply pointing out the silliness of that logic

There are many, many ways you could have done that without repeating the bigoted belief that being trans is supposedly a mental illness.

So do you also think it is a mental illness, or are you just being a middle school edgelord?

Reddit is apparently seeking to strike deals with big AI companies.

Always, always chasing THE BIG NEW THING.

I know that. My point is that those “tokens” and related cryptogrifts are just a sillier and even less tangible Wall Street, complete with insider trading and golden parachutes.

The new and exciting revolutionary version of Wall Street can uplift humanity and save the planet by having the same old grifts with a new coat of paint, less associations with tangible objects, and also a much larger carbon footprint per transaction!

Some time in the last few months, r/movies has been entirely consumed by askreddit-style questions like “What’s your favorite hidden gem??” or “What actor fell off the map??”

That’s nonpolitical discussion and adheres to @Civility@hexbear.net therefore it’s good.

moralizing

That’s what you are doing in their defense by preaching the virtues of the poor smol bean acquisition-hungry rent seeking billion dollar corporation that can’t help doing widdle fucky wuckies like trying to make all of the money instead of just making money.

It’s usually performative anti-wokeness from the kind of edgy computer touchers that are preoccupied with other people’s supposed performative wokeness.

Because Chrome is unfiltered corpo shit and Brave is owned and operated by right-wing assholes peddling cryptocurrency.

before

Too many didn’t seem to drop their own internal Reddit before coming to Lemmy.

It’s only loosely related, but the one thing I especially hate when it comes to amateur therapizing is weaponized pseudo-psychological concern trolling, usually presented as “WHO HURT YOU?” or sending suicide prevention hotlines to people they dislike or otherwise passive-aggressively implying the other person is mentally ill (which is framed as the person being intrinsically bad) and that there’s help for them, little buddy!

Pretty much every community that participated in that protest blackout is now dead.

All that’s left is cryptofascists and bazinga consumers.
