  • There's some truth to that but the lack of algorithmic manipulation will make it easier to deal with. Plus you just have more options here on Lemmy to deal with it. Most instance operators have shown a willingness to restrict or even defederate from other instances when they are consistently shit to deal with.

  • Way I see it there are two productive paths to take here:

    1. Start trying to convince women that privacy does in fact matter. Use examples like the menstruation tracking apps potentially being used to identify abortions to illustrate this point.
    2. Try to relate to the men here on Lemmy and find a way to cooperate. You've got a largely fresh population of men here who don't actually hate women, but have spent years in education being told they are dangerous rapists waiting to happen, or were treated as defective women by their teachers. They need good male role models and women who will treat them with respect, so that they can climb out of the pit without leaving the better parts of themselves behind.

    An utterly unproductive use of your time would be trying to fight misogyny on oligarch-owned platforms. You will never win because they find this content useful, as it divides workers and wastes their time and social energy. Just get out, and help others do it too.

  • Well someone has to be first to switch platforms.

  • This isn’t a platform problem

    It is though. You think the spreading of this content is an accident? They could change the algorithm tomorrow and it would disappear, but they won't because this division is useful to them.

  • "Stop using social media" is literally the only real solution because oligarchs will never again risk letting us actually connect with each other. You stay on "social" media and you will just be getting run in circles by engagement algorithms and bots.

    You cannot save Facebook, Instagram, X, or Reddit because their owners will not allow you to.

  • You're not going to save Instagram. The owners do not want you to save it and you do not control it. It was a lost cause before you even knew there was a problem.

    Some systemic problems cannot be solved from inside the system.

  • Evangelicals and Zionists are death cultists who want to end mankind to bring about the conditions of their salvation.

    They are dangerously stupid.

  • They wonder why nobody wants kids anymore.

    Jump

  • Women often have to trade career progression for motherhood. That's a big ask considering the decades we've spent letting neoliberals devalue motherhood and labour in and out of the home.

    ~20 years ago my wife was mocked at university for wanting to have children. It hasn't improved much since.

  • Ubisoft asking all staff to return to office full-time to "boost the collective performance for AAA"

    Jump

  • Investors have very big brains and are never wrong, so when a company drops staff they say it's good to see the company losing dead weight.

    Us stupid small-brained normies see a company struggling to have an original idea shaving staff to stay afloat and say "that doesn't look good".

    Then the big-brain investor loses money and posts on social media about how you can't win them all. The joke is that us normies also lost money; the investor didnt lose their money, they lost yours, because they were managing your pension fund.

  • Running away saved me a lot of times. It also failed me twice, and those two times left me with a scar and a permanent disability. As a complete self-defense solution it's a bad idea, but as part of your defense it's a great suggestion for any able bodied people.

    I can no longer outrun potential attackers. This door is closed to me.

  • I've faced many attempts to severely harm me but I usually escaped. I failed to escape twice: got kneecapped with a bat once (leaving me with a permanent injury), and stabbed once miraculously missing anything vital.

    My crime: having to work late, growing up in a poor neighbourhood.

    I'd feel a lot safer if I could be armed. I don't want to die.

  • just the thought of having to configure it all again makes my skin crawl

    It took me ages to get the nerve to redo my media server. Then some of my hardware failed and I had to redo it again... By the third time redoing it I had become a lot more confident.

    Also you learn to take notes on everything you touch and make backups lol
