I’m not blaming the single person who did a mistake, I’m blaming the negligence of the companies that cut corners for profit, so most of them.

Your first comment read as if organizations where this happens couldn’t have bad consequences. Your new comment explains what you meant better, and I agree.

Ok, people will always fuck up, so what do you do?

The majority of industries that actually have immediate and potentially fatal consequences do exactly this, and have been for more than a generation now.

All the organizations (including public) getting ransomware and data stolen, it’s because the consequences are not that bad? It is not gross negligence?

2001 especially.

Left or right is an economic stance

What about the social stance?

There’s probably a bunch of idealistic engineers dreaming to change the world for the better in the beginning, easily tamed by large amounts of cash when it starts to turn darker.

If they are capable of taking this decision during such an important time, why would an internet petition change their views? The only way to have them do it is regulation that will hurt their turnover if they don’t comply.

“I’m paying with exposure.” argument is not that great. Agreed with easy access to culture for those who can’t spare the money though.

Maybe an LLM fed with the political science equivalent of IPCC reports. Just need to get those consensual reports written!

Yahoo patiently plotting its return from Japan.

And traumatizing developing countries labor with what the internet has of most terrible.

Crypto means hidden, stop using it to talk about cryptography.

DarkReader and PrivacyBadger are useful too.

Uncomfortable, mayby, for having to read information you oppose?

dog pilling, personal attacks and finally threats of violence […] I am not on Lemmy to consume my mental health

Not all violence is physical.

I think many people need to grow a little thicker skin in that regard.

Are you blaming me for not having a tick enough skin instead of blaming the behavior of attackers? Please reconsider that thought.

Lemmygrad and Hexbear are the most obvious ones, sadly lemmy.ml is also part of them in my experience despite not being obvious about it (you have to check the admins and mods profile to see the link) and having some good content when it’s not about politics such as tech. There may also be some defederated by my home instance admins that I may not be aware of.

I think you are correct, but not having the opportunity to participate in a thread on those instances because you can’t see them anymore is part of the ways to avoid troubles.

If I’m not allowed to have a discussion or disagreement with you, and get kicked out instead, I’ll just go to places where they will talk with me

I actually tried to, and if it was possible to have rational and polite discussion, without straw man arguments, dog pilling, personal attacks and finally threats of violence, I would have continued to try. But sadly all of this happen, multiple times.

At some points I considered leaving Lemmy, thinking that this federation as a whole was not safe for debating. But then I started understanding patterns, either it was from the users from a specific instance, or it was communities from a specific instance that turned like that. Overall the pattern seem to be that if the instance mentions extreme political ideologies in its description or if the profiles of its admins do, then debating is not possible.

If they want to stay connected to people to avoid the circle jerk, they have to work on themselves too (ex: learning to debate politely), you can’t except us to absorb all the damages to help them avoid radicalization. It’s like walking towards a terrorist group with flowers while they are shooting around and expecting them to be inspired by your pacifism.

I do enjoy debating and questioning my own beliefs, but I am not on Lemmy to consume my mental health, so I need to take some actions to protect it.

You can conviniently block a whole instance from your account now, it reduces this kind of disagreement a lot.

I’d be curious to see if this actually enforced and for how long. I see companies cutting costs on security all the time. You can’t really trust them with anything else than creating and optimizing processes to make money. I’d rather see public regulators eat their turnover until they comply.
