#Fediverse (and #Lemmy) is surely getting way friendlier to newcomers and very pleasant to use. 😁😒
Lemmy.ml didn't ask my consent to push Anubis code into the insides of my Nokia smartphone. Anubis didn't ask my consent to "validate" my Nokia smartphone. Similarly, Lemmy.world didn't ask my consent to push Cloudflare code into the insides of my Nokia smartphone, and Cloudflare didn't ask my consent to "validate" my Nokia smartphone. Fediverse is, therefore, pivoting to non-consenting acts to keep a relationship. And, could you imagine that there's a very fitting four-letter word to describe this exact behavior?
Yes, there's a word that perfectly describes the act of pushing third-party back-end code in non-consenting manner inside the user's/guest's devices: you just need to imagine the device (be it a smartphone or a computer) as the person's "body", then you derive the word for pushing something unwanted (back-ended) inside the person's body. The word to describe it has four letters and start with R.
Congratulations, Fediverse, for your nice job trying to keep non-consenting third-party #algorithms out by pushing non-consenting third-party algorithms onto guest's bodie... I mean, onto guest's personal devices. What's gonna be the next approach, asking for guest's ID and selfie, you know, "to protect the kids"? Are you oblivious to the concept of consensual relationship, "yes" or "not now/maybe later"?
You promised to be a haven beyond the walled gardens of Meta and Google and Reddit, but you're becoming increasingly indistinguishable from the algorithm-heavy mainstream social media platforms you swore to be fighting against.
