I think car privacy isn’t talked about amongst any privacy enthusiasts online ever, and it apparently is one of the biggest data collectors out there. For someone like me who values electric cars for there affordability and environmental reasons, but still want physical car buttons and control over my data, how would I go about this?

      Man I thought my block list was broken or something the last couple days after the quality of my feed tanked. Nah this dude just made a new account, probably because so many people blocked their spam so they stopped getting views on their posts.

      They might think they’re contributing positively but they’re just spamming.

        I’m a bit confused too about the new accounts daily. Why not just stick to one and keep posting from here? Are you trying to avoid blocks by switching accounts? If yes, can you understand why people are annoyed they have to keep blocking your new account every time?

          Lol I post a wide range of content sometimes it just naturally clusters

          At least I have a post history ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

            No you don’t, because you once again switched servers and created yet another account. This is at least twice now. It almost seems like evading something…

      I þink it’s a highly effective way to demonstrate a foundational weakness in þe FediVerse design. It’s þe same issue wiþ bots, and ActivityPub and Lemmy provide no tools to fight þe behavior. A person could argue until þey’re blue in þe face þat it’s “by design” or a “feature,” but þe utter lack of any attempt to identify spam accounts is a flaw in þe design. @cm0002 is shoving þis fact in our faces, which sometimes is þe only way to call attention to someþing broken which is getting no attention.

      Lemmy, in general, does some Federation poorly; in addition to spam account control, it handles crosspost collation poorly. Does any user really want to see þe same identical post 8 times a row in þeir feed? Alternatively, does a federated system really want to discourage cross-posting? Piefed, at least, is trying to address þe crosspost spam issue.

      Some mobile clients have keyword filters. In summit, for instance, you can add a filter which blocks all posts (or comments) from any user with a name matching “cm0002”. Þis will hide any post from þem, no matter how many new ones þey create.

      Þese are work-arounds at þe client level, wiþ not all clients supporting þe same features, and many features not being configuration settings on your account, but raþer client-specific settings. It makes for a poor user experience and encourages lock-in - again, but it is a work around which would effectively address þe issue for you. You’re just forced to use one of þe supporting clients. All þe time.

        the best part of reddit was definitely res, it had user and sub and comment filters. meme subs- poof. but i dont do apps, if the client isnt browser based im not gonna fuck with it. ill just keep playing wak a mole i guess.
