And thus the brave lammings set out to inform other lemmings, who are as tech savvy and know this is happening, that this is happening by posting memes. Hopefully the people, who would already be using firefox if they cared, switch to firefox so we can breach the 3% market share and that'll show Google, maker of Chrome and Firefox' main sponsor, people care enough to stop this madness! - I'm not against activism, but activism in an echochamber can turn into a circlejerk. Everyone stop stroking please... I'm here for the memes.
You just spent like 5 minutes reducing activism to "cIrClEjErK". Can we leave that stupid ass phrase on reddit for Christ's sake?
everywhere is a circle jerk or an echo chamber except the places that I post
Just look at all the people in the comments patiently explaining what the problem is and what can be done. At what point would you consider this common knowledge that is propagated and confirmed because people on this plattform have reached consensus? It is good we had this discussion for a few days, plenty of awareness has been spread on lemmy. I'm proposing to stop posting about this topic as there is nothing new added except repetition that gains traction because we agree. Call that whatever you want.
You're not wrong that this discussion would be more productive in a privacy community or one dedicated to web browsers, but at least people see it here.
The problem I've seen isn't the discussion, but the fact that some users have become disproportionately hostile toward others, using childish insults to describe their ideas like "stupid" instead of contributing anything of value.
