In your own words, what was the central point of my message?

IKTYKTIKTYK the real solution this problem, and its not another attempt at a federated message board 😏

Praise our benevolent overseers, truly they are the chosen ones to lead us to paradise.

Yes but there has been a cultural and technical shift on the internet. Your average AOL user was not out running witch hunts against people they ideologically oppose, you couldnt mass blast your shitter post to your 5m followers and change public opinion over night, You were not linked by your real name to your employer, your ssn address etc was not leaked 5x to sunday.

The landscape has changed “at this point”.

I mean, you’re in a network/platform that goes as far as encouraging you to use multiple accounts, so what’s stopping you from doing it right?!

easy access to weapons grade software like llms that can deanonymize users across multiple posts across the entire web

The biggest issue besides the llm is

a tool to download a user’s public posting history through the lemmy API

I think this needs to be very clearly explained to users in general. In the name of public education.

Your posting history is public, and can and will be used against you. At this point in time, anything posted on the internet is essentially permanent public history. It’s in a database somewhere that can be leaked or scraped.

This is not a lemmy or dbzer0 problem.

The collective amnesia is unreal. Did we all just forget about prism? No US tech company can be trusted with your data at any level. By law they have to have backdoors or be shutdown, and can legally lie to you.

who controls the keys / where are the keys?

Users will know that a conversation is end-to-end encrypted when they see a new lock icon

😂 imagine trusting an emoji

The “anti-science nonsense” of today is the “we should of known” or “it was obvious” of tomorrow. At this point “trust le science” is just another tool in the hellscape dystopia we live in.

Is there a different, more free lemmy instance that doesn’t censor wrongthink?

Its pretty wild but not unexpected to see one after another lemmy instance self-destruct in a race towards thoughtcrime.

the sad part is most of these aaa slop games aren’t worth the time or risk

cant wait to see all the reasons the normencattle come up with as to why they still need linkedin

pretty dang fragile So tired of fragile software BUT its usually free and responsibility falls on me to contribute or stfu.

Now shitty paid software? I could rant for days.

I’m saving nextcloud for when I need to scale and have more hardware.

never hurts to learn.

Cal.com is open-source and selfhostable without too much issue. The issues just stem from proton’s encryption and cal.com still being in development.

Odoo seems super heavy for my use-case but thanks for sharing. Never hurts to have backups. easyappointments doesn’t seem too bad.

The site is basic wordpress atm and I’ve got a separate server for hosting webapps.

Thanks this might be the solution. Fingers crossed it supports round-cube without issues.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding, but you’re saying shared/sync’d and updateable calendars outside of big tech like google is still an unsolved problem?

The biggest way you can help is to TAKE ACTION. Get the ball rolling. Regardless what you think the solution is. Take action to make it happen. Don’t wait on “someone else” will do it. If you don’t have the skills or know how. Reach out to someone who does, keep the ball rolling

exactly that’s why actions speak louder in these cases.
