Why go seek shelter from the Kremlin if he wasn’t already compromised? Seems like there are many better places he could have gone.

It does what?

How many people do you think the US has killed?

Guantanamo certainly wasn’t open torture, it was hidden and very controversial. My comment was about the current US government vs the current Kremlin, seems like you’re intentionally misconstruing it to make a point.

No longer safe is a biased way of interpreting the law which allows organizers to be held financially responsible for problems caused by their protest.

Thanks for the info. A couple big assumptions in there without backing, but I think I understand why you’re making them.

An uncomfortable perspective I’ve developed over the past few years is that some of these privacy sacrifices might allow the US government to more effectively counter malicious efforts from governments like the CCP and Kremlin who have no such restrictions. That said, I have no doubt they’ll also be abused.

I don’t trust him ever since he sided with the Kremlin. Also what is this website…

As another commenter said, Chelsea Manning is already out. Snowden wouldn’t be considered a terrorist.

The US government doesn’t openly torture, murder, kill to expand their borders, put people in jail for blank signs, or many other terrible things the Kremlin does. The US government is easily, hands down better than the Russian government.

It’s not like the good communities will stop existing.

I saw many good Reddit subs then into garbage as the site grew.

At least the Fediverse should be resistant to enshittification because greed isn’t the driving force behind it.

I appreciate that, thanks 🙏🏻 now I’m considering disabling 2G.

Agreed. Disable 2G? Why? That might cost me connectivity in some places and I won’t remember to turn it back on.

Go away Hexbear propagandist.

Yeah, the Kremlin gets the blame because they’ve forcefully consolidated decision-making power.

Only the stupid ones.

Unfortunate and very true.

I don’t believe for a second that Meta would produce something open and free that they didn’t control and make money from

I really hope you’re right. VR has a lot more long-term potential than most people realize, and if there’s a corporation in charge of it it’ll be worse

Don’t worry, I suspect they’ll articulate themselves better as the CCP and Kremlin LLM algorithms improve.

I’ll never use the Metaverse.

And double bonus points with sprinkles on top of it was a bot or shill pretending to be an American.

Pretty sure a lot of them are Kremlin/CCP LLMs.
