Lookit here, it’s a perfect example of what I’m talking about.

Fair

Implying Lemmy is any different

Cars shouldn’t require cell phone towers to function. It’s a CAR.

The only way to stop it is to stop letting people play with strangers and to go back to local LAN sessions, or for games to be private only with temporary invite codes that have to be shared manually, with a maximum number of users allowed.

Online anonymity really has ultimately harmed us as a species and conferred little if any benefit.

Don’t ask. 🤦

Yeah, we can tell. You NEED the grass. And oxygen. And water. And soap.

Then get off of Threads, go outside and go touch some grass.

Then go back to Threads and stop bothering everyone else.

Then go back to Threads and stop helping corporate oligarchs take over the internet.

It’s all good. I am talking about the shill you were getting goaded by, not you. Don’t sweat it; it happens.

He’s just some paid shill. They’ve been infiltrating Lemmy for months. Don’t even waste breath arguing with them. Just downvote them, jot down their screennames and warn others not to listen to them. Arguing with them directly is what they want so they can convince others there’s a legitimate debate to be had.

Well, I said before I’ll leave any servers that federate with Meta, and it’s looking like that time.

You’re right, I haven’t. What dumb bullshit were they saying?

Then start convincing people to use it.

The only one who is going to be hurt by you constantly making excuses is you. No matter what hurdles you face, you have to overcome them, even if you have to build your own separate network from scratch, or you’ll never be free from the yoke of corporations and more importantly for you, you’ll never be free of the blame.

Then start building community ISPs that allow for individuals to have their own IPs again.

If you want to solve the problem, you have work to do.

Or you can sit around and complain like you’re trying to justify and defend doing, and live without access to ad free quality videos. Your choice.

Then purchase a hosting service. Off-shore VPSes are pretty cheap, and they take Bitcoin. Even fucking Paypal uses Bitcoin nowadays. Only hurdle in your way is you.

There’s rule of law in the U.S.? 🤔

Anytime you all want to go back to making your own websites

Anytime

If the browser itself could check those fragments though… 🤔
