Corporate overlords silencing discussion while selling your data to advertisers. Classic digital fascism.

I am literally here, now, commenting on this because I am reading the article to this on reddit and ..... I can't believe they are going to start punishing upvotes! That is the final stray for Reddit. Its dead. Gone the way of Digg. I am literally here now to start moving over to Lemmy.
I just realized - and must keep in mind, with a federated platform like lemmy, all of your upvotes and downvotes are broadcasted across the network. ANYONE could track your upvotes and downvotes in THIS system.
I had no idea how much I valued voting privacy.
You don’t have voting privacy here on Lemmy though, and theoretically instance admins could “punish” you based on voting patterns.
But decentralization helps that
If an instance becomes oppressive, nothing is stopping you from going to a new one. You can’t do that with Reddit. Let’s say my instance Lemmy.ca becomes awful, I can make a new account on another and still comment on this community. That’s the beauty of the Fediverse.
On the other hand, harvesting that sort of data is as simple as creating an instance and Federating with whatever sub you want to spy on
whatever sub you want to spy on
Is it really considered spying if the sub is pretty much shouting the information freely to whoever wants to request it?
I have intercepted this communication to say yes, it’s still spying! 🕵️
So keep that in mind when interacting with the fediverse
These are public forums, it's almost the point for things to be public. You could argue that votes shouldn't be part of it, but ultimately due to the decentralized nature they must be communicated to all servers
They already do, some instances or communities will ban you for downvoting everything.
Which is kinda fair, why are you here if everything displeases you?
You are not allowed to even nod at a reddit article anymore. The voting system on lemmy is broken though. Your votes shouldn't follow you.
Mod:
Please link directly to articles, and provide archive links in the body or comments. I'm not locking or removing this at this time, but please take note in the future.
The entire system wants you to forget about Luigi and the entire issue. Sort of memory hole it like so many other things and let them punish him in secret. So it's no surprise Reddit and others will try to Streisand it.
Exactly. That’s the best part. There would have been a Luigi article every once in a while giving an update or whatever. Nothing is going on with him rn. But blocking his name is getting everyone talking about him again, and some are switching platforms because of it.
What's Reddit?
Another corporate shithole
Zombified Lemmy ancestor - - it's on the net.
Cries in MySpace.
Just another place for porn.
This is the only proper answer
Best porn on Lemmy?
!unixporn@lemmy.world
i was reading the same post on reddit, people agree with the enshittifcation process going on,.

I suggest using a euphemism for Luigi from now on. Sort of like how Pres Xi of China was "panda" on chinese social media to avoid censors. How about Muski? Eloni?
Green Mario
I think you mean green Mario 
Yep, sorry. I realized my mistake and fixed it right before you replied.
Not that anyone cares but this same shit is happening on Tictok as well. Anything pro Lulgi, PaIestine or anti lsraeI is banned. I assume it's the same on Meta's other properties as well. Straight up fasclsm!
Good riddance to shitty platforms
The website is attacking the users that made it the front page of the internet
No they aren't. Those users have long since left Reddit lol

Time to go find video game discussions to comment Luigi on
Unfortunately those aren't safe either :/ The article mentions how several subs for the game Luigi's Mansion got banned, even though they have nothing you do with Mangione
Brought to you by the same type of morons that wiped out articles of the Enola Gay while that's on their anti-DEI (really anything not pro cis/white) rampage
