Perhaps this new European government push to get away from American Big Tech will free you guys of this burden

I wouldn’t call being forced to use a privacy invading, personal data harvesting, foreign-owned communications platform by nearly every facet of your society “weird”. I’d call it “deeply troubling”.

None of our doctors, in network or otherwise force us to Zuck’s apps lol.

Nobody is interested in seriously engaging with your sophomoric “you criticize society yet you participate in it” nonsense. We get it, you’re 14 and think you’re deep.

As an American the thought of your doctor requiring WhatsApp to communicate with you is just a foreign concept lol

Lemmy might fit within the technical definition of social media, but don’t be so obtuse as to equate an anonymous community message board with the likes of Facebook and IG that are tied to your identity, and are designed algorithmically to keep you engaged as long as possible while pressuring you to share more and more of your personal life.

The “If social media bad, why on Lemmy?” Thing is the epitome of halfwit false equivalency.

People seem to forget that Britain was the U.S. before the U.S. was the US. I think they had people fooled for awhile because they were part of the EU.

Don’t gender the fucking robot bro
