Those movies are so forgettable to me, but I do frequently hear that they were a gateway drug for many people so they're ok with me!

How do we know Leonel didn't use one to go meet Picard (who is real and in the future)?

"Teach the debate" right. The facts are the facts no matter what you feel about them. Please leave me alone.

Yesterday I caught you spreading disinformation to promote a for-profit social media company. Today you're here with disinformation about Lemmy.

Privacy is a spectrum. But when 99.99% of userdata is publicly available no responsible person could call that service "private".

I'm going to be THAT guy and point out that while Piefed and Lemmy instances have much better incentive structures to be good to their users they are very much NOT private and on the default instance setup nearly all data collected is publicly available.

EDIT: Many people in this comment section don't seem to be understanding that "Lemmy" is not one website like Reddit. Each instance is it's own thing entirely and there is ZERO guarantee than a given instance isn't using hidden trackers. This is NOT a defense of Reddit or a criticim of Lemmy software which is very good. But it is a fact and you should be wary of the motivations of anyone claiming that "Lemmy" is private or similar.

Ha! That's on me for not reading until the end, thanks for that.

That's a good quote, I know she didn't mean it this way, but it made me think of LLM chatbots. They have no substance beyond their power to convince. They're basically pure marketing machines.
