I think the we should use fediverse with the expectations we had using the internet of old: Don't post anything you want to keep secret, and anything you put online is potentially permanent.

I was always a little skeevy towards Facebook and other major social media sites when everyone was encouraged to use real names, post personal details, and share real photos of themselves and friends. Hell I still don't get how people here share everything from faces to nudes and not expect their privacy to be compromised.

An entire generation has grown up not expecting privacy. It's their normal.

Big tech companies' wet dream

For some reason my entire account is being mass downvoted, anyone else have this happen before?

Why do people trust their info with a person that lives who knows where more than with a company established somewhere that can be verified and that actually has to follow laws? 🤔
