One of my favourite post formats is when someone with a similar URL to op torments them like they are failed clones of each other and it completely changes the tone of the original post.

Using a post about treating invasive species humanely as an excuse to expound your eco-fascist ideals is gross btw

"Humans are invasive" "humans are a virus" etc etc is not the clever uber-liberal pro-conservation stance you think it is, please look into the history of that ideology. You will find it's full of literal Nazis

[bogleech]

I haven't even gotten around to seeing a single note on that post yet did something happen 😦

[rosslynpaladin]

Any time you talk about saving the planet the eco fashes pop up, so yeah probably.

I'm Native American and I get frankly really pissed every time someone gushes about how WE are destroying the planet and WE are inherently evil and always have ruined everything we touch.

This "humans always ruin the earth without exceptions because we just take and take" is in no way a WE issue even if it were true, because many many many cultures until very very very recently were and still do live in sustainable ways and tend/ed the land they live/d in.

but these people are usually white supremacists too so that argument ain't going anywhere. Don't debate em. Block em.

They're not here to solve the problem they just want to dump salt in it and cry louder and maybe select which humans should be killed for their ideas.

[onenicebugperday]

This is it. It's a very western capitalist/colonialist point of view, as if that's the default human condition. It isn't. And I get it! I grew up white in the US, and I used to see things that way, used to think that humans ruin everything they touch, and that the planet's problem is only humans rather than a certain culture of humans. It doesn't make you a Nazi, but you need to be aware that that kind of thinking has roots there, and often leads down the same path.

[void-milf]

fyi the point of fucking up your data patterns isnt to avoid suspicion. it’s to make EVERYONE suspicious. same logic as the bloc, pals.  protect your comrades, be suspicious. ESPECIALLY if you aren’t doing anything likely to get you arrested.

[void-milf]

the state is less omniscient and significantly more incompetent than you’d think. overextend their resources at every possible opportunity.  make them cry wolf repeatedly. run their data analysis agents fucking ragged.  and strike. attack.

[37womenwieldingknives]

YES i’m a postgrad statistics researcher and i can tell you that the state honestly has NO IDEA what to do with the data it collects, it has an obsession with big data but it’s almost impossible to work with in practice. the traditional statistical approaches that are used can’t be scaled up, the adapted approaches are substantially weakened, and the machine learning approaches have the same problems and often tell them nothing. data scientists are only just coming around to these issues too, most still just push on with it anyway - incompetence is the word. above all this though, like you say, the biggest issue for the state is at the point of data collection. they will NEVER get anything useful if they’re collecting shitty messy data. they will eventually figure out that the real solution is working how to collect accurate and meaningful data, we should make it as difficult as possible for them to do that

[afraidofamericans]

This makes me think that we need WAAAY more apps that generate junk data

[queeranarchism]

Apps that generate junk data? tell me moooore.

[anarchopuppy]

Ooh I know this one!

Ad Nauseum is an adblocker that stores the ads it blocks and continuously generates fake clicks, fucking with analytics and costing the ad companies money

TrackMeNot automatically does randomly generated searches on a variety of search engines to obscure your real searches and fuck with analytics, and you can set it up to work with anything that has a search bar (including facebook, twitter, amazon, youtube, etc)

WhatCampaign replaces analytics parameters in links with the string “FuckOff”. I thought there was a similar extension that used random strings, but I can’t seem to find it

Privacy Possum is a fork of Privacy Badger with a focus on costing tracking companies as much money as possible, and idk if my limited tech knowledge is enough to understand what it does but the description does say it falsifies some data so that’s good enough for me

@afraidofamericans

[mayflower-gal]

Boy it SURE would be a SHAME if this were SPREAD AROUND for everyone TO SEE

[digitaldiscipline]

The upside of this is getting some buckwild user surveys from the goog.

“In the last seven days, have you searched for Himalayan salsa recipes?”

“… sure.”

[13faeinapenguinsuit]

This wirthbit to me toceuxkvup databrokers and rhw like but I want the Google to thinking researching fool recipes too

[stephendann]

Any data collected without a specific hypothesis, problem statement, and limited end use case is going to be a garbage result.

Adding garbage into the data set en masse will encourage the data brokers to realise that sweeping everything up and churning through it like some weird correlation butter maker will not help their profit centres.
