Fucking never. Never ever. I’d sooner cut myself off from all technology and live in the woods than willingly give those creepy fucks my middle goddamn name. There is absolutely nothing good that will come from this company. The people at that company literally fucking movie villains. It’s fucking crazy that absolutely anyone works with them, let alone world governments.
These large scale surveillance companies like Palantir, like Flock, they shouldn’t exist. They should be outlawed. Our government needs probable cause and a warrant to surveil a suspect. If a normal civilian followed you around and filmed you, kept track of you at all times, they’d be arrested for stalking. But for some reason private companies can just watch every man, woman, and child in public and online, catalog all our movements, where we went, how we went there, who was with us, track what we do, what we read, who we know, how we spend our time, what we say, etc., and then permanently log all of that, use it to form dociers on us, predict our behaviors, or desires, ways to manipulate us, and then turn around and sell that data to governments, other companies and private parties. How the fuck is that legal.
Why in the fuck would you ever allow a private, profit-driven company to have that kind of power over your nation, let alone reward it with federal dollars, long term contracts and access to our law enforcement and military data and systems?
Worse, the founders and CEO are unhinged wannabe dictators trying to form their own sovereign techno-states. They’re not even secretive about that. And our goverment is fucking funding these nuts and giving them every detail of the lives of our citizenry, our goverment officials, our military… how fucking stupid do we have to be, guys? I wish I could say it’s just Trump but it’s not. It’s mind boggling.
I’m here because of this. 10 year old Reddit account deleted, app deleted, done over and out.
Literally Spez right now…
(I’d post the uncensored image but IIRC Lemmy World is German-based and have strict laws against Nazi iconography)
He’s wilfully given the data of users who have criticized Trump and ICE, AND he looks like a spitting image of Tintin…
While germany has strict laws against using Nazi iconography, there are a lot of exceptions that allow them in satire, arts, etc.
Couple of years back they even allowed swastikas in video games because the law recognised them as art.
Mmmm, looks like I’ll have to get my porn elsewhere from now on
What is the lemmy equivalent for discord?
Matrix. Also to a much lesser degree XMPP.
Matrix is probably the closest in terms of being widespread and well supported by client and server implementations, though it’s not quite the same. It’s a bit finicky in practice too.
Fluxer.app
Nothing so far, there is Stoat, Roomy and Root, iirc there are others but I do not recall them atm.
Peter fucking thiel has too much money and is backing everything, for example PayPal and stripe that are processing 80% of e-commerce payments
“Compelled” *evil shojo laughing all the way to the delete button"
palintirs AI desperate need to get clients, so when the bubble burst they wont be hurt that much.
I tried convincing my friends to leave discord, and only 2 people attempted, but I kind of fucked up by enabling message encryption.
But now that this bullshit is here, I wonder if I should try again? I might go the VPS route and call it a day, but I really want to have it locally hosted so I don’t have yet another thing to pay monthly.
“Compelled”
Abandon all of these platforms and any others that associate in any way with Palantir or Thiel
Let’s wait until it’s revealed that every commercial us platform is connected…
i still use them without going through the id system
hasn’t affected me at all
Almost wish I could be part of the exodus, but I use none of these

The problem is that millions do, and won’t understand what the big deal is, and be sucked into the fucking psyop vortex.
Few powerful people deciding everything and millions falling in line and the few outliers being affected even if they opt out due to decisions of millions of others who support the few powerful sums up the world.
That’s the thing. You don’t have to fool all the people all of the time, just most of the people most of the time.
I’m watching Gladiator tonight for the first time in 20 years. It’s hardly new but so painful to watch again through the lens of the current state of America. It went from ominous historical warning 25 years ago of power, weakness and how men act in opportune moments to a primer on current affairs.
I never really saw it as an allegory for fascism, but that’s an interesting take.
At least the bad guy gets shanked in the end.

Many don’t have the capacity left to make conscious decisions about these things - either they are already living paycheck to paycheck or it is too abstract for them to realize it might bite them and everyone else on a future date. Even if i have ideas for the first group that I have no power to make reality, I don’t have a solution for the second group either.
My kid wants to be verified on Roblox sooooooo bad so he can defend himself against trolls. It’s actually been a good lesson in ignoring those idiots like water off a ducks back.
Why would you let him interact with randoms?
Like. “Trolls” are the least of your worries here.
Right… It’s like letting you kid run around times square in the 70/80s with no guardian.
The parents probably post their photos on FB and social media too.
You don’t understand, he said not to go anywhere with anyone… Unless they’re nice
/s
No, we have a strict code phrase policy that’s been tested several times.
Ummmm… no. I play with my kids and if I’m not, I’m doom scrolling fedi right next to them on our gigantic couch. What world did you invent? Weird.
You ever been on Roblox? I’m not going to shelter him from what’s out there. Together we’re going to learn how to outsmart and out play every kind of troll. My daughters are much stronger now after playing toxic COD Zombies lobbies a decade ago. I’m an old man with three wonderful kids who will never bully or belittle another animal, even the nasty animals online.
Edit: do you think my child is unsupervised and I would allow a pedo to chat my kids up? “Roaming around time square”? Y’all need to stop pearl clutching. If you leave your kids unsupervised, that’s on you. My children are very aware of what is and isn’t appropriate.
Buddy…
Ask anyone that used to be a child if their parents knew about all the shit they got up to.
You think you know everything and are on top of, but so do every parent.
Hopefully your kid knows how to take care of himself.
No one else is going to apparently

when are they rolling that shit out on AI-slop-CSAM-central aka twitter?
They are trying to make it seem like they care about kids at the same time they released the Epstein files… While Trump is lying saying he is not guilty / not in them. They are trying to rile up their base even more and encite violence towards their political enemies. People have been calling for violence on Twitter and ramping it up. I am sick of leftist platforms censoring so much because its very scary.
