I've long been lamenting the sad seizing of narratives lately by the alt-right buoyed by Trumpian talk of "Big Tech" and "Big Data" and argued that we have to reclaim the territory on the true principles of commie sharing and free speech not hate speech. And lo! Just discovered the wonderful @Lemmy with the description as "A community of leftist privacy and FOSS enthusiasts, run by Lemmy’s developers" yeeaass! Thank you!

Imagine if you could file a digital restraining order against tech companies. If a creepy person follows you any time you leave your house, looks through your mail, and watches you from the street whenever you're at home, you can legally make them stop. Why not companies?

And another thing. All outcasts into some random obscure quirky interests: do me a favour and start social conversations on that geeky shit with the presupposition that everyone else is interested in it. You know -- like people do when bringing up patriarchal Eng-er-lund to us.

People project their own values onto successes even in defiance of reality. The same folks co-opting millionaire England players as "leftist" icons will have to reconcile the team meeting with Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson and royals for tea, honours, photo ops.. Don't @ me.
