Yea…sounds terrible. I don’t even save my browser history normally.

If it’s all local and no telemetry is sent to mozilla or 3rd parties, then I’d potentially be interested in it.

What do you mean ingesting browsing history locally? For AI? I don’t want that. But I’d interested in your opinion and explanation though!

Yea probably not lol.

Fuck AI too. No one wants that garbage. I hate that everything has a chatbot now

I have no idea :-)

Good. They should focus on their browser. No one wanted their side projects. It was scope creep and took away resources from their main product offering. Sounds like the right move.

Well you either hand them your data directly with no hassle on a silver platter, or you hope that your fingerprint doesn’t stick out enough for them to be 100% certain. Pick your poison.

Do you have the link? I’d be interested to read about it.

I would never use a browser that requires an account. That’s insane.

The Fediverse needs a hell of a lot of work before we can even consider mass adoption.

Yea then I guess the argument is moot lol. Oh well. Not a fan of it but seems to come with the federation territory.

Well even if an instance decides to hide it, people on other platforms can still see it? Or do i misunderstand?

Oh lol so even if the Lemmy devs made it private, mbin and others would let you see them anyway?

Also, what is mbin? A kbin fork?

Also rip. I’m really not a fan of public upvotes/downvotes. I think it will lead to people harassing each other. Let’s be realistic.

I know. But don’t you have to be an instance admin to see them? Or can anyone do it? I feel like most people have no idea how to do it? Seems like a change if everyone can easily do it.

Yes

Absolutely braindead consideration by the devs. I’ll be quitting Lemmy if/when this is pushed through. Unbelievably stupid.

No I’m worried about powertripping mods… That’s the issue.

2 observations:

1. Wow I didn’t think hexbear was that large. That’s unfortunate…

2. The fact that Lemmyworld is like 40% of the pie is NOT good. People are clearly not understanding or not caring thay the point of the fediverse is to prevent any one instance from having too much power. People need to leave lemmy world and join other smaller instances. If lemmy world were to shut down, imagine how many of the most popular communities would be gone.
