As someone that’s been stalked twice before the flock cameras are terrifying. I’ve always been taught to keep my head down and avoid attracting attention but it just seems inevitable these days that someone is going to do this.

If that’s what it takes to get regulation for them I suppose.

Yeah it’s difficult convincing people due to sunken cost.

You could be chatting on a better platform that offers everything discord offers for free but you’d have to convince your friends and the servers you frequent to all move.

It’s not about the platform itself as much as it’s about the communities that are all already there.

Even the one person I know who is terrified of losing her account and preemptively set up alternatives on other platforms still won’t leave until something forces her.

It’ll be both good and bad if it happens.

While it’ll be great for the threadiverse to have more growth it will inevitably put us in the crosshairs of bot farms and AI data farmers.

I’ll save it as a last ditch effort, since I’d rather detonate myself with the data center than die in other ways.

Everyone seems to have given up already. No one cares, no one is fighting.

I can’t do it on my own. I can file complaint after complaint after complaint but it’s just been accepted.

Yes but I have a safety net for now.

Edit: I just found out that there’s going to be a data center built less than a mile away from where I live. Life is about to turn to hell.

Thanks, I’ll look all of this up later and see how I can handle it.

Interesting. What would you recommend though, and how would you recommend searching for these services?

Just on the off chance that north america could become like the aforementioned countries.

So what does work in those countries?

People tried but honestly, the whole place is a cesspit in retrospect. Lot of mods get actual benefits from running their subreddits when they’re big enough.
