@trwnh then it would be set to 0, come on!!

I worked on the #Android team from 2010 to 2014, and I had a real crisis of hating what I saw Android had become. But #Meta actually pushes the envelope as far as being creepy even more than #Google ever has.Meta was caught downloading people's SMS and call logs. On Android only.https://www.cbsnews.com/news/how-facebook-was-able-to-collect-android-phone-and-text-logs/Android has extremely granular permissions, which is great if you're a nerd, but in this case it allows apps like FB Messenger to do all sorts of creepy stuff like scan Wi-Fi and BT devices.

@morph @m I didn't have csam stuff, but in my first week on Fedi, I got brigaded by a freeze peach instance, all calling me a f**got.Never blocked an instance so fast ever since.

@samuel nah, it's all there. I'm literally just neglecting the blog.The friends plugin just basically turns it into a Fediverse instance, allowing me to follow Fedi accounts directly from the blog.

@samuel well, as an admin of my own instance, if I ever get a fine from Australia, they will get the most heartfelt letter telling them to kindly fuck off.Obviously I don't know what a big instance would do. But I'd hope they'd respond the same way.If we let governments push us around, we're no better than X.

@fox you said "hostile environment for black people?" And dismissed it away, then when offered proof for those claims, you said "nah I'm good"This isn't my argument. I was just telling you what sea lioning is.

@Fu that's something I've never heard or thought about.

@Aidanmcdonnell if you keep spamming people with empty replies, you're just gonna get reported.

@kendricklmao8 bet! Will do! Haha.

@phantasus facts, or make a blog. Then you can delete any comments you don't like and don't even have to reply.‍️PS. I don't usually call people out, but THIS type of reaction to someone replying in a non-hostile way, is absolutely ridiculous. https://mastodon.social/@ErickaSimone/113947525371737729

@laxla a photo of a post that says "@shokoUnfind State of de Levant, Sponard Bay Spice X, Chairman Wie To Yutopedia Includeing Brand New Peckj: Slybury Xelzhen, For A Limitd Tis or Atley de Luo Price of Hughes Antier Familièmey Bassett"

@SeaFury hmmm....very strange.I have noticed in the past that there's some Fedi platforms that allow adding hashtags that don't show on mastodon for some reason.It's not often, but it does happen to me sometimes.Maybe that's the case here.

Still true.RE: https://www.threads.net/@quillmatiq/post/DFIoZdQvyZU

@kgoetz if you know their name, you can just use the regular search bar.
