Changes to Lemmy/PieFed to adjust to living under fascism

Lol. Just make a new software at this point, because what you describe is not Lemmy and never will be.

[solrize@lemmy.world]

Right, like the other person says, Lemmy fundamentally doesn't work like that. IDK what Piefed is. Ironically, in a sense, 4chan was ahead of us by decades.

[philipthebucket@ponder.cat]

After a brief period of lawlessness, 4chan became a big gluey honeypot on behalf of every big law enforcement agency in the country. You’d have been a lot better off posting your drug offers and revenge porn in a Yahoo Chess chat room.

You’re not completely wrong, though. The idea of thinking through some basic measures like Tor-friendliness and anonymous signups (as if requiring an email address does a microgram’s worth of good to prevent abusive users from signing up) sounds okay, but grafting real OPSEC against the government onto these federated platforms at this stage sounds nigh-impossible to do in any reliable fashion.

I've been on Lemmy since May. I've never been on 4Chan, but I've heard stories of who 4Chan users are, and what their posts are.

God, I HOPE they aren't way ahead of us.....

Hellooooo? Fascists? Are you on Lemmy?

looks around

Yeah, I don't think I'm on the right part of Lemmy where fascists are engaging. Not that I'm complaining. It just feels like you're living in an igloo complaining that a cactus might grow.

I think it's extremely likely that the Trump DOJ will start looking over all internet activity to try to find evidence of terroristic and/or leftist activity, and charging people with crimes for same. The fact that Lemmy is a niche platform probably won't make much difference.

Piefed is another fediverse link aggregator project, like lemmy and kbin

This is the flagship instance of PieFed, an open source projec…

You'll periodically see piefed accounts if you pay attention to user instances here

Lemmy is simply not the place for that sort of communication.

My recommendation would be SimpleX.

It's not about fascists on the platform but living in a fascist country where posting on a left leaning platform is already suspicious.

Imagine pasting this LLM bullshit unabashedly as if it's something people should sagely nod through recognizing how necessary it is to turn this poor man's reddit into NSA internal messaging forum. "Better opsec around instance owners", did you even read that before pasting? Who are you writing that for, instance owners' handlers?

[amino@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

thanks for the rec

[souperk@reddthat.com]

Lemmy is a public forum, if you want to communicate privately exchange matrix handles and communicate there.

[maegul@lemmy.ml]

That is interesting! Thanks for the tip!

Also, it’s their icon a community reference?

[max_p@lemmy.max-p.me]

No idea, never used it, I just happen to know it exists.
