In some of the music communities I'm in the content creators are already telling their userbase to go follow them on threads. They're all talking about some kind of beef between Elon and Mark and the possibility of a boxing match... Mark was right to call the people he's leaching off of fucking idiots.

Most people do not care as long as they do not feel immediate negative consequences. Plus there is a certain pressure (social and economical) to use spyware for the benefit of some gigacorp. People need to have a certain mindset to value privacy and data sovereignty and be willing to take action

That’s sad right? When I was starting my privacy journey, I really thought people that’s closest to me would also care about privacy. But no, like for example, when I started using signal, about 2-3 of my friends join.

These products - Googles convenience products as well as the Social Media shite - were introduced gradually at the time. The single steps people took towards using these products seemed innocuous. Before you know it, your whole life is enmeshed in a privacy nightmare and the convenience and quality you were used to is gone. It's like buying an apartment in a nice place of town and then within the next two decades the area turns into a shady ghetto slum.

I’ve given up on privacy. Like I knew in my heart of hearts they were recording everything long before Snowden confirmed it.

It honestly feels kinda like being on Twitch, knowing I’ve got watchers.
