  • Yeah, because it’s the loophole around the charade that the gov doesn’t surveil the population. By paying companies, they can easily do what is forbidden by the constituency. Effectively, the constitution is a marketing exercise, barely existing in practice.

    However, if you pay someone to murder someone, its a crime, if you pay a company to break a law, you should be held responsible. Weird shit like companies being like humans and having rights is insane and if they are treated as beings, they should be held accountable legally and that includes the CEO and board who drive them.



  • A .world user singular, complaining about .ml users plural. I’m complaining about the regular pattern of some users and it is frequent.

    This is a regular narrative that all .ml users are tankies so are not worth engaging with and yeah, it is insulting.

    You don’t know me and that’s fine. I’m not sure why your recognition of me is relevant? Am I irrelevant if not known? There are 10s of thousands of users on Lemmy. I put time into moderating 2 big communities here for the greater good, but hey, because I’m on this instance, I’m seen as “tankie” scum.



  • User on .world account complains about .world moderation.

    This isn’t a new problem, folk have been warning about it for a long time on Lemmy. Folk didn’t want to hear it. I personally have zero confidence in their moderation. The cases I saw lacked impartiality and occasionally maturity. There are better instances. .sh.it.works for example.

    I cannot imagine an organisation that appointed these moderators/admins would do particularly different on a mastodon server.

    Best you can do, is move away from .world so folk see there is more out there to the fediverse than them. All eggs in the .world basket is a scandal waiting to happen.
