You just spent like 5 minutes reducing activism to "cIrClEjErK". Can we leave that stupid ass phrase on reddit for Christ's sake?
everywhere is a circle jerk or an echo chamber except the places that I post
Just look at all the people in the comments patiently explaining what the problem is and what can be done. At what point would you consider this common knowledge that is propagated and confirmed because people on this plattform have reached consensus? It is good we had this discussion for a few days, plenty of awareness has been spread on lemmy. I'm proposing to stop posting about this topic as there is nothing new added except repetition that gains traction because we agree. Call that whatever you want.
You're not wrong that this discussion would be more productive in a privacy community or one dedicated to web browsers, but at least people see it here.
The problem I've seen isn't the discussion, but the fact that some users have become disproportionately hostile toward others, using childish insults to describe their ideas like "stupid" instead of contributing anything of value.
