It absolutely is not. You are using enshitification incorrectly. This is the core business model of facebook since the very beginning. They don't give a shit about people spending $13/mo. They absolutely do not want people to choose that option. This is literally about about a legal loophole they think they have found to get around GDPR and have people "opt-in" to the same kind of data collection their business is based on.

Ive heard of it, and want to use it, but unfortunately the only reason Im still sticking with instagram is because I have very dear friends who would never change to anything non-mainstream.

This is called the network effect, it's a social problem and no amount of technology will solve this. So your choices are either to stop using apps where you are the product, and obviously convince your friends to stop that as well, or grin and bear it. Maybe think about what you did 20 years ago and do that instead.

This is pretty cool. But I'll stick with Anonymous pro.

Alt-right is a term coined by a horrible presidential candidate as she attempted to draw a false distinction between a "good conservative" and a "bad conservative." But the distinction is without a difference.

That seems like normal conservative stuff to me. No need to call it the "alt-right" which in itself is a normalizing term that provides cover for the conservatives culture warriors that have existed forever.

So because minors can use the service, it's a pedophile service? Is the internet a pedophile service too? There isn't any age requirement or verification to use it. Should it be shut down as well?

I don't see why a website should be required to make sure their users follow the law.

Alright I'll bite. How does an anonymous video chat website become a pedophile streaming website? Was there a specific event or what?

The "alt-right" never think about the children nor have they done anything with children as an excuse. That was the rallying cry of the "Compassionate Conservatives" and the televangelists who banned video games and rap music in the 90's and also why you have to click "yes I'm 18" on many websites including lemmy. "Think of the children" is just what authoritarians use as an excuse to push their agenda whether that is ensuring the State has a monopoly on violence, or trying to ban things they don't like.

Eh. Same recycled story as the Animal Crossing letters from mom story. Or an even earlier version where their sister/girlfriend/etc etc left a note on some game they were playing, or a version from 5000 years ago where a scroll they were transcribing had a note from a friend who recently died from yellow fever or whatever.

Casino's like Capitalism, shouldn't exist. That isn't to say you can't have fun playing poker etc, just that the Casino's as they exist in our current hell world, only exist because they pray upon the downtroden. That they exist at all is a symptom of a sick society.

Yes most people are. The you is the general you, not you specifically. But the theoretical person/people who do decide the time is right, will be glad to have that privacy.

Basically privacy is worthless if you don't need it and priceless if you do.
