There’s this guy on https://2004.lostcity.rs/ who is always buying and selling items for >15% the trade values, and the forums have hundreds of posts complaining that he should be banned from using the markets. Which is impressive, considering the entire community is like 200 people

Ok

The client does

I work at Meta and interface with WhatsApp enough to know a couple things. First of all, data is encrypted at rest; that’s not even a WhatsApp thing, that’s literally how our infra works (it’s actually an efficiency thing, since deletions requires only deleting the key). So the “source” of the article saying

“Meta can and does view and store all the text messages, photographs, audio and video recordings” in an unencrypted format.

Is either lying or wrong.

Second of all, the encryption is legit. The only time “Meta employees” and “Contractors” are seeing your message content is when someone reports your message; because the person reporting it is sending a decrypted copy.

It may be true that there is some sort of device-level backdoor on your phone, or possibly that there’s a remote switch of some sort to send a second copy of the message in decrypted format for some targets, but I have not heard or seen this.

Fyi I use Signal and not WhatsApp, but in general I don’t think this article holds much weight

It’s not that I treat them equally, but I’m happy to see people fighting for change, if that makes sense

Accelerationist here. I think it’s more of a coping mechanism. I basically support all protestors and people motivated to make change, regardless of which side they’re on.

Lmfao sorry you got banned brother I just wanted to let you know that your comment made me laugh

Hexbear.net, lemmy.ml and Lemmygrad.ml have a lot of extreme leftists who have very wild takes that could be mistaken for right wing takes.

I personally don’t recommend blocking them because outside of political threads they make up a lot of the content/memes/discussions, but up to you if you want to try that out.
