Agreed, but let’s go one step deeper: Fuck the notion that privacy is an individual consumer right instead of a collective societal problem. I don’t “consent” to any of that crap, but I shouldn’t be able to at all. Legislate away the behaviors you don’t want, instead of pushing that onto people who don’t care. Corruption is wrong even if all parties “consent”. Extortion, election tampering, mass exploitation, same thing. The whole problem is the companies do what they want, don’t give a damn if data gets stolen, governments are in on it. That’s not an individual issue

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•if lemmy gets successful, how do we delay or prevent its enshittification?
19·12 days agoDo you mean enshittification as a general term meaning that the overall quality will slip? Because the specific meaning by Cory Doctorow is about centralized commercial platforms. The fediverse isn’t one

Got into a thread that was all transphobia. Not the subtle kind, but totally messed up. I was furious nothing was done about it. Glued to my phone, I reported every single one.
Next day I was suspended for abuse of report button. Unfair, but here’s the kicker: It was a report 6 months earlier in a different sub, completely different topic.
So these shithead mods let transphobia bullshit slide, then got mad at me for flooding their mod queue, report me, and someone looked through my earlier reports to find something. The reports in that transphobic threads were legit. Mods should have been punished but it was me.
I get that it sucks not getting to work from home. But you do realize there are also a lot of “work” from home slackers, don’t you? I would want to trust anyone, but I know a lot of colleagues are doing fuck all when “working” from home

Huh?
