Look peeps, if you have an issue with me helping people to BeAware of certain things they are not aware of, so that they can make informed decisions, then maybe I'm not the person you should follow.
That's okay! I'm not everyone's cup of tea.
However, don't come to my replies and criticize my choice to let others know about certain stuff.
I get it. People have unrealistic expectations in terms of privacy on the internet, but I still feel it's important to make them Aware of things directly on Fediverse that I am aware of.
We cannot change privacy across the entire internet, but maybe we can talk about privacy on Fedi so that those who are developing those awesome softwares can think about how they can possibly integrate more privacy options on Fedi.
Fediverse is in active development. Things are always changing. There may not be much privacy on Fedi now, but there could be if we discuss such things passionately and consistently.
@BeAware It could be more private, but I love the fact that my data isn't being harvested by the platform itself. One time I made a new Facebook account under a fake name to handle so I could use the marketplace and look for cars or something, Facebook suspended my account with a message saying "We have determined that you are using a fake name" and boom, gone without appeal. How they figured that out? No clue, but the point of that platform is to sell YOUR data, not your fake data lol
This is terrible. What if i just don't like my legal name? I am prefer to be refereed as "Owl", everyone knows me as Owl.
@lonelyowl @pixelworld_ai facts.
There's 5 people that know my real name that I talk to.
Nobody else needs to know.
I'm BeAware. I look like a flying phoenix holding the words BeAware.
Even people offline are calling me Owl.
I hope in out bright transhumanist future with friendly AGIs i could grow feathers on head instead of hair
