Years ago I used to recommend a Fedi platform called Lemmy. However, in 2021 some very disturbing stuff about Lemmy's developers came out which totally changed my mind. Because of this, I did a thread to warn people about Lemmy and then never mentioned them again.
Today a mod on this account's old server deleted the 2021 thread, without any explanation but apparently by mistake.
If you're looking for the thread, it's on the Internet Archive:

Did a web search on GDPR lawyers in a given city. Only one apparently relevant result led to a law office specializing in #GDPR. And that website was a tor-blocking #Cloudflare site.
Then I searched for a #humanRights lawyer.
1st hit: tor-hostile website
2nd hit: tor-reachable website but lawyer’s email address resolves to #Google.
I’m not joking… can’t make this stuff up. Society is drowning in #hypocrisy but no one sees it because most people don’t know how to look for it.
Perhaps we need tools to make it easy for normies to be more informed. Tools exist but they are for advanced users.
If the thing you’re making wouldn’t exist if people had to opt in instead of having to opt out, maybe the thing you’re making shouldn’t exist.

If you know anything about prison #journalism, you know both how courageous Jason is, and how hard Michelle had to work to get inside to report this story.

People have to make a decision. You can only choose one.
Do you want freedom / human autonomy?
Or do you want pretend safety?

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
