Doesn’t delete it from Reddit’s servers unfortunately. All you’ve done is prevented people who might have been interested in your answers to not discover them anymore. And maybe the odd occasional bot that slips through the cracks

It seems to be a bigger problem than I imagined. What is the corporate buyout even doing on Mastodon? He needs to either give a really good explanation or be kicked.

I do not have a mastodon account, if you do/anyone does it would be great if the other mods there can be notified about this

I want to ask the same question I ask every time this comes up: how will they “ban” encryption?

Sure, they can ban the signal/session/simplex app from the app stores in the continent. Doesn’t prevent you from just downloading the APK/using any FOSS store like F-Droid and accrescent though.

The only problem I can see is that people are idiots and will go along with this, and then share confidential information with you, who is trying to maintain good digital privacy and hygiene, and by extension shine a spotlight on your behaviour to alert the local police force that you’re trying to have a private digital life. I try to be strict with my family about these things but both the older and young folk don’t care at all.

We need to stop posting there and start posting here and on Mastodon. I wonder if the community can come together to try to move traffic away from Reddit to these forums for the greater good

Indeed. I have seen lo______ol around for a while now. We need to name and shame Reddit mods. And move more people to Lemmy. Unfortunately, the Reddit boycott didn’t go well because normies have a sick compulsion to pardon any and all acts by corporate. Normies are the biggest digital masochists sans exception

Sorry, I take that back. I have edited the previous comment; I do not remember if it was Floorp or Waterfox or something else that I had heard complaints about. I think Floorp is fine. I prefer LibreWolf and Mullvad browser for the clearnet but my choices shouldn’t dictate what you should use.

Sorry, I take that back. I don’t remember which one out of Floorp or Waterfox I had heard complaints about. I think it should be fine. I still prefer Librewold and Mullvad browser because they follow the TOR browser’s hardening steps.

Just use LibreWolf. Why is Floorp even recommended anymore? Last time I heard it was a privacy nightmare

I take this back. I cannot find any proof for this statement apart from some reddit comments bashing it. I do not remember if it was floorp, zen or waterfox that I heard a lot of complaints about regarding privacy so I’ll give Floorp the benefit of the doubt.
