Please tell me I’m not the only one who thought this was a screenshot from Tears of the Kingdom for a sec.

Easiest way to find out: shit fuck bitch asshole

Can you read those or are they censored?

Europe? Do you use WhatsApp? If so, your info is already in their hands thanks to your friends/family who shared their contacts with Meta. Basically if you or any of your friends/family use any Facebook service, including WhatsApp and Instagram, they already have all your info.

Say you do sign up for Meta with a dummy email. The moment you start following people, checking out hashtags etc, they will start connecting dots.

It’s virtually impossible to avoid being tracked by them. This is why privacy advocates and activists have been begging people to stop using Meta’s apps and services for literally decades. Not only does it track the user, but also pretty much everyone the user knows, including people who never consented to having their information shared, never used any of their service, etc.

I mean there are people out there who drink their own piss because someone on Facebook said it was healthy. Obviously there’s something about information coming from an official or official-looking (or sounding) source that just makes people do weird things. It’s not any different than people falling for scams, MLMs, alternative medicine, etc.

Edit: omg remember the guy who injected piss into his arm during an interview? lmao

Edit 2: I FOUND IT LMAO

I can’t imagine going through life thinking that everything I love and/or desire will send me to hell or whatever. Imagine living in fear because you think someone is watching and judging you. No thanks.

I don’t see any advantage to having any kind of religious faith. Seems like it just limits your options and gives you nothing in return.

It’s a combination of ignorance and entitlement. They think free speech means freedom from consequence and entitlement to a platform and/or audience. That’s why they get mad and claim it’s censorship when they’re banned for breaking rules etc.

Also they only care about their freedom of speech, despite their claims to the contrary.

Misskey has been around since 2014, it’s not meant to be an alternative to anything. It wasn’t even part of the fediverse at first, iirc.

Anyway the best (imo) English fork is Calckey, and it’s basically Mastodon on steroids. I honestly don’t know why people choose mastodon over it, it does everything Mastodon does + more.

RIGHT? It’s fucking insane that no one seems to be talking about this. I’ve been trying for years and people just roll their eyes or ignore me. What the fuck.

And it’s completely because people don’t think about it and/or don’t understand how this stuff works. The app says “share your contacts to find your friends!” and people just go “cool ok”.

Here’s a not-cool story: Facebook showed my friend a photo of her rapist under “people you may know”. Fucking hell.

There’s a black owned Calckey instance but it doesn’t federate iirc. I can’t for the life of me remember the name, I think it was @[email protected] who mentioned it, you might wanna reach out to him.

They don’t need to. They already know where you live, work, etc.

But they can’t see the info that’s stored in your phone, no.
