Now that's exciting, I'm looking forward to seeing the finished app

Oh yeah, the app is a monster that will eat all of your data. I thought we were talking about federated data they would get from the other instances, which is more or less public. My data as shown in that image is not public and I have no plans to hand it over to Meta.

What if you get into an accident?

Humans are resistors. We just need to create a chain of people, and the more we add the more resistance the circuit will have too.

Our data is already public though? The ActivityPub standard specifies that the majority of data we publish on any given instance is public through that instance's API, and a web scraper could be easily built that would comb through and gather all of it for advertising or machine learning purposes. The only real way to avoid that would be to take the sites themselves private, which would kind of defeat the point of social media, or to just not use social media.

Um, I think someone may have hit you upside the head because it's obvious and clear that my way is the best.

Yeah, I can tell why this is from adhddd.com, it's all about assertiveness. People with ADHD in general (including myself, to an extent) have trouble with being assertive, so most of the phrases in this chart try to change a meek or mild-mannered response to a more assertive one. I think part of the struggle of life is finding balance because while some of these are generally improvements, others are generally worse, and the difference will depend on the tone you're going for and the person that you're sending the email.

It's unfortunate to have to go back on a community decision, but it's more important to keep yourself legally in the clear. Thanks for the transparency, I definitely made the right choice with this instance.

This is good news. I've noticed you've been using the release candidate updates, hopefully, that will make the transition more smooth because the changes to the new version are more minor. Thanks for all the great work you've been doing, it's been nice to see how involved the Lemmy instance admins are.

With a name like @redditcunts, this one is probably a troll. Just block them.

Honestly, for some software this is the answer. The other one with hackers is that it's usually easier to trick an employee into giving you the master password than finding an obscure exploit in their codebase, though it does still happen.
