You know a lot of young republicans who say their liberal so they don’t get ostracized by their friends, who are looking for any and every excuse to vote how they really want.

Let’s be honest here.

Maybe you didn’t read where it says even DIRECT MESSAGES aka private messages you send to people, and don’t choose to post in public, is easily and easily available.

This place is already an echo chamber. Jesus that’s bad. Everyone is on a new team and now we love this team and this team is never wrong and all criticisms are invalid. Even the really bad ones.

I don’t really care. I’m old enough to have never trusted the internet. But let’s not pretend this isn’t a huge fucking deal, and isn’t completely fucked just because Reddit bad and fediverse good

Can a non European make use of this. Or do I have to be in Europe to make and register a complaint. I assume there is nothing I can do here but I might as well ask.

@Deceptichum

@Bloonface @TiffyBelle

What do they call “private messages” on Twitter? What do you think DMs means on social media? Drivate Messages?

@L4s

Don’t worry we will.

Ok and how is this worse than what Facebook already does? Or TikTok? Or Instagram?

You list all these things as if this new platform is going to be the first and only thing to harvest all your personal data. Like it’s shocking and new and so much worse

How is it worse? It’s the same bullshit. If you already have Facebook, and most do unfortunately, they are already doing that. And I would bet TikTok takes this much and more and has worse actors.

@JohnnyEnzyme

@trachemys @Kalkaline

yeah, what choice is there? they might have to be BORED for a few minutes, otherwise. can you imagine that? looking into the void and not having reddit to distract you? i mean, i just thought about that for 5 seconds and I shit my pants twice.

@Aatube

Maybe it’s because every 5 words the interviewer says “you know” or some other filler that distracts and makes you look less professional and intelligent in the eyes of a lot of people, subconsciously or not.

@RxBrad

@pinkdrunkenelephants

They arent smart, they’re reactionaries

@Unaware7013

Of course not

Again the whole point of my comment is to express how UNORIGINAL it is what threads is doing

It’s terrible. I want no part of it. But we shouldn’t treat it as a brand new slew of invasions when it is most certainly the same invasions most people happily take.

But OP should make it seem like threads is going to be the first and only app that harvests that much, varied data. That’s dishonest.

@twistedtxb

@cura @SkyNTP

Yeah everyone is always like “oh boy. Half my page is ads I don’t care about. I’m so psyched! I love this stuff!”

@Arotrios

@m0bi13 @edu4rdshl

Absolutely. I completely agree. I have Facebook because I have friends and family that basically require I use that to contact them. Never downloaded messager or any other thing. Not that they don’t have everything from Facebook anyway.

But the person I was responding to wasn’t making the point that everything Zuck touches turns to shit and a money grab that torches user experience. Or that they are trying to stop any potential competitor or subsume them.

They’re saying “look at all this data it’s going to harvest!!! Isn’t that INSANE?!?” When it’s literally the same almost every social media app on your phone does/has. There are a ton of arguments against anything zuck touches. Pretending the data harvesting is going to be new or groundbreaking is dishonest. Especially when, as I said, I would bet tiktok does all that and more. And it goes to a much worse actor.

But a video is a set thing. A video game has to change dynamically and have a bunch…

Wait

I think I got it?

Are you actually playing the game on the server far away and they’re streaming THAT to you??? Like you’re not playing a streamed game live on your system, you’re playing it on the cloud or wherever and then stream what you’re doing to you?

Is that it?

@BarrierWithAshes

@hardypart

only americans and the british would be so entitled and horrid

@TORFdot0

That was extremely extremely helpful. Thank you. I had no idea this was talking about phone emulators. That’s amazing. I didn’t know you could do that!!!
Really really appreciate this
