      They don’t understand what being the product means because they don’t understand why their data being sold off is a problem because they don’t understand why their data is valuable.

        He says, on a free service.

        I make a monthly donation to the folks running mastodon.world (they also run lemmy.world). Yeah it’s free but you can and should contribute sometimes to keep it that way.

        Open source doesn’t really count, especially with Lemmy where you just can host it yourself and there’s no way for anyone to harvest your data really

      It’s already in all the service agreements that you click on when you sign up. They’ve already been harvesting data. They already have the right to use your posts and pictures for whatever they want

      Congrats, Lemmy is usually a vocal critic against those that “only care about issues when they affect them personally” but you managed to get upvotes.

      I am not holding it against you, bias is human but it is something some of us should reflect about.

          The people still back on the matrix major platforms still do things that affect you indirectly like voting, buying things that shape everyone’s market, or having their cognitive biases explored, listed and exploited in ways that yours may also be by pr firms.

            Yeah I suppose that’s pretty fair.

            My only defense I suppose is that regardless of their data being harvested. They vote against their own interests.

            They have been warned for decades that their data was being harvested. They did not listen because they do not care. They do not vote for things that would improve my life. So even if the statement is correct.

            It does not change the outcome. People will vote for what they want. We are not altruistic.

            We should be. As things that improve others will inherently impact us. As voting for selfish reasons will folly us all the same.

          your reasoning does fit the spitit of this list. You dont care because its not your data.To be clear, i am not faulting you for having that opinion even while i personally disagree, i am trying to speak out about a rather noticeable case of double standards within the community.

              Right, this can get confusing. I’ll give t a go.

              Lemmy.world is the community you are a part off, its also the community the meme example i shared on.

              A community is not the same as a subreddit but as a tiny full reddit. Its run by admins who set rules and standards for the entire server they own and with tends to come sort of ideology. When you go to lemmy by default you will see the frontpage of your community only.

              @memes, @technology within a community are call places but i don’t like that naming. They are like a subreddit and i find they actually have the strongest community feeling and guarded ideologies. They are much smaller so if you see double standards within one of those its usually a sign of an echo chamber. This was not such a case.

              Theres also the fediverse. Which is all lemmy and related servers that are federated. This is the bigger lemmy community that curates what gets to the front page of “all” because most of lemmy is progressive and safe for minorities other communities servers that openly welcome nazis and c-abusers have been defederated so they can no longer see or interact with eachother. If you both comment on the post on a neutral server then you wont even see eachother comments

              Its very likely that at least one of the People upvoting you saw that meme 2 days earlier and thought “yeah they only care when they are affected, which is obviously wrong and i would never do it” simultaneously id expect people who felt really strong about that meme to be perceptive enough to recognize it in your comment and downvote it. (No offense) but because it was about Facebook, many peopl on lemmy dont have facebook. We all passionately hate it. You basically got people agreeing against their own ideology, which is again normal but does weaken that ideology.

              Progressives like me should strive to care against that are wrong no matter if its us or someone else. I am not from ukraine or palestine, i dont have family or friends there but i know people are suffering and i want a better world for them, likeways i want the boomer population on facebook to have a better world where there data isn’t routinely stolen by Bigtech.

                That is a lot of thinking. It’s interesting you mentioned echo chamber then go on to describe an echo chamber. Nobody on any subreddit lemmy nor community all have the same thoughts and feelings.

                So there shouldn’t be a single idea. That’s not a good thing. For humanity to work, discourse is required.

                Single ideologies that are narrow and never wavering are pretty bad news.

                See example Nazi Germany.

                  Exactly, there is nothing wrong with your opinion or stance, i am raising awareness to a particularly subgroup of people that needed it. Cause i saw signals that they where around.

                  I kinda wish there was a way to comment without Having to bother you in the process.

                  Rereading the chain i should have worded it better to not sound so assuming that you where present at “yesterday’s meme rally” . Bias on my part. Excuzedmoi

                  I cant see the up/downvote ratio but i still expect many people here are hypocrites.

    The worst part is that I haven’t had an account on any of their products in well over a decade, and yet I’m sure that they’ll be able to use tons of my up-to-date info in their training.

    LOL, it’s time to come up with fart jokes. Everyone should just communicate using fart jokes until meta bans fart jokes. Then just move on to the other words…tits, penis, butt, poop, toilet, etc etc.

    I’m sure Facebook will go tits up! Specially if everyone’s tits are hard pressed on the issue. Yeah this is totally tits dude! Well tits my ass and call me honky! Tits the season to be weary fallalala la la la laaah!

    It’s not private data if you publish it online.

    They already had this data, I’m not sure why anyone cares about what they’re doing with it now. It’s not any worse than selling it outright.
