  • the rules of the internet state that users must not possess any nuanced understanding of any topic whatsoever, and are not allowed to distribute any such information. All takes for any issue must be a plain ‘yes’ or ‘no’ for popular opinions set forth by the two opposing majority groups and are absolutely mutually exclusive.

    but more seriously, yeah, its upsetting.

    it feels like people are incapable of nuance and context and dont understand that just because something is understandable that it cant also be incredibly harmful.



  • GDPR is for companies/corporations to “respect” user’s requests about their data.

    Lemmy (ActivityPub, actually) isnt a company.

    What you are saying is the equivalent of saying that the concept of writing is in direct violation of GDPR.

    What you probably can do is request that an instance remove your content… And then do the same for every single other instance of any platform that implements ActivityPub (and not all of them will even have data coming from you) and is federated with your instance. And the only ones that would really need to comply are those that are based or operating in the EU.

    This is still the internet, not some magical place.

    Use some of the most basic fundamental internet safety rules and don’t provide potentially compromising information for no reason whatsoever. Especially since this isnt a corporation such as Facebook or Google who require you do so in order to use their service.
