I’ve noticed that there seems to be an emphasis on being extremely serious at all times, as if every single comment is a PhD dissertation being evaluated or something. There’s like this weird, subtle one upmanship about every little thing and a lot of people are very nitpicky and judgmental. It kind of takes the fun out of being on here, TBH. Or am I the only one experiencing this?

    Yes the US intelligence apparatus must be just so lost when you create a new account on Lemmy. Ofc they are. You’re safe from them by doing that.

      Honestly, bro, why do you even care? Being a smug prick over insignificant shit like this is exactly the kind of asshole behavior OP is posting about.

        Why do you care that I care?

        Hint: it’s the same answer.

        Also, I notice how you didn’t say that I’m wrong.

      Depending on how you made that account, yes, that can completely foil a state-level adversary. Snowden got away.

      Saying the government doesn’t care about our shitposting has substance to it. Saying they have infinite surveillance power and also that’s fine, on the other hand, feels like it’s been reasoned backwards from a conclusion.

        Thinking the government is interested in an individuals shit posting is beyond delusional.

        Data only works as prediction when you have tons of it.

        And for that it doesn’t matter what your username is.
