So it can steal your credentials and hack your accounts! Duh!

I can only get so federect!
This is why we can’t have nice things!
Oh there’s always side effects. But for me, they were absolutely worth the difference in how my brain worked. I became functional again. Also, the psychiatrist will tell you all about the side effects. Let them know what you’re afraid of. They won’t lie to you. They will help find the right chemical for your issues. Might not find the perfect one right away either. But it’s worth trying, in my opinion.
Yep. Lemmy is the future of Reddit.
Definitely not concern trolling. Just finally thinking about all this stuff. Thanks for the insight.
I’m not all that concerned with ACTUAL privacy/encryption but rather more concerned with lower-level things like stalking, harassment, employers doing research about their employees’ non-work habits, insurance companies, etc.
I’m not talking about doing anything illegal and hiding from authorities who can use forensics on your data. Just general anti-corporate snooping and anti-harassment privacy protection.
Like, I feel more inclined to sign up and use something more like Raddle.me instead of lemmy because the owner of that site has a philosophical mission in favor of privacy.
I believe how it works is the comment from the user on the defederated instance and ALL child comments of it do not show up on your instance. So it’s as if that conversation just stopped after the last person from an instance that you’re federated with commented. You wouldn’t see anything from defederated commenters or the replies to them, even if they are replies from Instances you’re still federated with.
Login to Beehaw and check out a post from a Lemmy.ml community on it, and then look at that same post while logged into Lemmy.world and you should see the differences - because Beehaw defederated from Lemmy.world.
I think the problem here is:
Moderators of lemmy.ml are removing posts and comments which are critical of the Chinese government and are banning their authors.
Is that not a problem, in your view?
Correcr
This is very cool. How do you mention people/bots on lemmy?
I think my superpower would be to be able to communicate to anyone in a way in which they always fully understood my meaning.
So Reddit has decided to fight back, eh?
You love to see it…
Oh, interesting! I haven’t gotten my head around Mastodon. It just seems like a huge mess, to me. Like, Twitter was a big enough mess on its own, and then Mastodon had to take Twitter and make it like 10x more complicated.
Dude, it sounds like you are doing the right thing. The best thing to do when you feel like this is to just separate from it and get some perspective and figure yourself out. It sounds like some therapy might be helpful, as there might be some sort of paranoia going on as well. That helped me a lot, personally. Good luck to you!
Why does it have to be “profitable”??
