Facebook finally gave us “encryption” on messenger It sounds great to normies. Great, privacy! But it’s Mark Zuckerberg, the same person who (among many other things) retracted his messages from everybody else’s inbox It’s also broken messenger completely He is a horrible person, and absolutely doesn’t care about you Facebook has been fucking around with privacy settings for years; what he’s doing is absolutely self serving

I enjoy Dreamwidth but it feels the engagement isn’t there Maybe the community around livejournal just had bigger numbers

I actually cannot believe the padded room universe YouTube wants us to live in Vids have been removed for years, demonetized for years, sometimes based on political ideology, sometimes their own brain dead policies (“not allowed to contradict WHO”) The word suicide is often censored and I guess they’ve been known to remove old war footage The recommendations are absolutely fucking terrible and asinine, not only often lowest common denominator but the same things you’ve seen and also just spread across so many subjects other than what you’re currently watching It is fucking wild, as someone who saw firsthand the first few years of YouTube (however that being said their copyright process went above and beyond what was required and they’ve also been politically motivated for quite a while; I believe they ended up effectively taking Scientology‘s side against anon) Google is either the world’s stupidest fuckass most incompetent company or they do these kinds of things on purpose (I remember sensitive footage from Waco getting removed right around the time Google bought YouTube, what if goog really is deep state?)

Is being a relay operator kind of like running a tor exit node

My mental health is so shit

Everyone said, when Zuckerberg wrote that letter to Jim Jordan, that he was just postering Always attributed it to “people don’t realize they were lied to during covid” Then Meta introduces new rules that calling lgbt people mentally ill was permissible (this from a platform that’s already broken - “this does not violate our community standards, but we’ll ban YOU for any old reason”) Yeah, he was postering The guy is a sociopath (Jack has said twitter got taken over by an activist, I don’t think he approved of the censorship over there prior to Elon)

I’m still waiting for YouTube to give an explanation for some (many) of their censorship practices I don’t know if Google is evil or not but they do own them and they take down so many videos “The Covid vaccine kills people” is not misinformation It was the same sort of thing when Elon bought twitter, I don’t think jack was responsible but they were constantly banning people for no reason I guess I just want to be a fly on the wall when these discussions happen… “oh yeah we don’t have to discuss this, it’s misinfo, take it down” What? How is any of this allowed to happen Why did YouTube ever have a policy that you’re not allowed to contradict the WHO? What if they’re wrong? (Above applies not exclusively to Covid but many other things that could be mentioned)

Aspiring cypherpunk But also, know-nothing fuckwit

Some people’s favorite pastime is talking about how much they despise red scare “Omg millennial vocal fry” I actually really enjoy their show :(

Lab leak might be the single least interesting part of Covid (Becomes more interesting if you listen to Dave Martin, about how all this was intentionally released or orchestrated, but you can’t cite him, you’ll get censored) How about that the vaccines kill people? Or that lockdowns were absolutely never justified? Or that they put people in the hospital on end of life drugs? Or masks were completely useless? Or so many other things I could probably literally spend hours citing If the main concern was “lab leak”, all those other concerns wouldn’t be a problem. Well, we had to lock down due to the lab leak. Get vaccinated due to the lab leak (and oh hey, how about that the vaccines came out of the department of defense? And that they’re bioweapons?). Mask due to the lab leak. Etc Misinformation my ass. Fuck you. Give us back the 5 years you stole from us (and in the case of people you literally killed by your “treatments” it’s much more than that)
