If your spidey sense isn't telling you that this is definitely some kind of shady backdoor, permanent data theft vehicle, then you still believe that billionaires care about you

Congratulations to W social in creating a leak proof PDS because welp, personal data of your ("verified") users indeed can no longer be leaked if you already made them publicly available "by design" in the first place.

I feel like the ease and speed of technology, and how we (almost) worship it has helped disintegrate a sense of a shared morality. Whether X, StarLink, Tesla, Facebook, Amazon, etc. they all suck people in, and people make excuses to keep using them.

Yeah, we definitely have a privacy/surveillance issue when your coffee maker is spying on you... www.techradar.com/home/coffee-...

Hard truth: Facebook et al are not responsible for what’s posted on them. They are 100% responsible for how it’s distributed, who it’s distributed to and how aggressively it’s pushed . Their algorithms are 100% their responsibility

Search looks through the last 36 hours of public posts for your words, "exact phrases", #hashtags, @handles and websites, and also finds posts about the same thing by meaning. New posts join about every 10 minutes. We only include posts whose authors allow logged-out viewing (Bluesky) or search (Mastodon, indexable accounts), and we re-check Bluesky authors each time we show a page. Likes and follower counts never decide the order. For meaning matches, query text is turned into a fingerprint on Wildroot’s own server (EmbeddingGemma-300M); it is never sent to another service. Wildroot does not save query text to disk. Looking for posts like one you have? Similar posts. How to opt out.
