        of course not. Lemmy has one less problem than reddit, so still 43921 reasons.

        I think it’s more difficult to identify me from an anonymous account where I don’t even talk about myself that much than from an account under their legal name with a bunch of pictures of themselves.

        Maybe community needs to work in a way lemmy does not have too much loving of posts, so protects privacy. It’s possible since it’s open source.

    In case you haven’t noticed, ICE does exactly what the Gestapo did in nazi Germany. Mass surveillance, razzia’s, operating in civilian clothes, crimes against humanity, sending people to concentration camps. The people are deported to foreign concentration camps, the only difference is the people ending up in death camps, so far, as far as we know of. But how much do we know about those foreign concentration camps?

      El Salvador is literally running a death camp, they don’t plan to ever release the prisoners. They just keep them alive for free labor and to avoid the stigma of running a Holocaust; but Germany was the same at first, they only ramped up the death at the end of the war.

    Or course they will, what did people expect?

    People have been saying for years that if the nazi shit happened nowadays it would be a wet dream for them with all and everything online, easily accessible and already categorized.

    Couldn’t people send them on wild goose chases by flooding social media with “I saw an illegal over in x area” and then send them to the whitest county in America?

    What we’re entering is a bot arms race. Counter a bot doing bad things by other bots flooding bad Intel.

    It doesn’t take AI analytics to figure out I’m as far left as they get and come pre-radicalized. I’m the ANTIFA overlord they’re looking for.

    I’ve practically invited them to breach my door.
