So, I’ve been on Lemmy since the great Reddit exodus a couple years ago, and back on Reddit though, there were discussions on Data Poisoning, where since it was nigh unto impossible to keep your data private, people would poison their data with all sorts of extraneous information, so companies couldn’t tell what data was accurate and what wasn’t.
But, here on Lemmy, I haven’t seen any discussions about the topic. Are people still poisoning their data? Why haven’t I seen any discussions about it? Is it still discussed, just not on the instances I’ve seen?
Way, way back in the early days of the internet when it was still all just message boards and users from universities there were discussions about data poisoning. The early forebears of users today had enough foresight to understand what the internet could be if it went the wrong way and started a collaborative project to develop tools as technology developed to combat it. They managed to keep up the project, legacy developers would move on or die but new ones sprang up in their place. It all fell apart way back in nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.
Hmmm, top comment in an asklemmy thread is a joke, and the mods do nothing after 17+ hours?
We sure are speedrunning the reddit irrelevance arc aren’t we?
As is tradition, both you and your instance are now blocked
It’s a joke, but also an example of data poisoning. Pretty clever.
Deep breath. Read the joke again. It’s relevant.
I think the fact that their comment is the top comment indicates that the general populace of Lemmy like their comment, and to try and censor or block is just bizarre. It’s like telling the community what they can and can’t think.
Yep and asshats just like you made this exact same fucking argument every day as reddit slid downhill and look where they are now
Your idealism is naive
Reddit was malmanaged by a money-hungry C-suite and investors. Blaming the downfall of reddit solely on the users is naive.
You really are living up to your username
Oh my I’ve never heard that clever turn of phrase before
BTW, the only reason I decided not to block you is I did a quick flick-flick speed read down your recent posts and realized you seem to be a leftist of some sort, which to me means you’ve got a lot of reasons to be pissed constantly.
Still, being this level of enraged 24/7 is not good for you and is frankly not productive at all. Have you considered therapy? You gotta cool off at some point. And I dont know if you have some other underlying issue other than the “enhanced sense of justice” symptom of autism.
