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?

    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.

        Reddit was malmanaged by a money-hungry C-suite and investors. Blaming the downfall of reddit solely on the users is naive.
