    It is interesting that Reddit took it upon themselves to remove it. They are government employees, those aren’t their private addresses, but end with “.gov”. This seems to be public data.

      but it’s fascism time; bootlickers gonna bootlick. gotta protect the fascists from judgment by the people. expect less and less transparency moving forward, all sorts of public information getting concealed, and both mainstream media and social media corporations helping them.

        Extreme responses like this push people with genuine questions away.

        This makes it impossible to learn.

      The addresses were originally obtained through a Freedom of Information request, so yes, 100% public information.

    [Removed by Reddit]

    Been a minute since I’ve seen that. And that’s actually one huge advantage of the Fediverse. There can’t be a [Removed by Lemmy] because ‘Lemmy’ is a federation of servers with their own rules and regulations and aren’t even all based in the USA. And if any server starts these shenanigans, you can just move to another.

    Although I do wish that profiles and comment history could be preserved from one server to another. That’s basically the last piece of the puzzle that would give the user a completely a completely free experience.

        Nah, There’s other ways to store data while preserving confidentiality, integrity and availability that isn’t on the blockchain. Besides A public ledger connected to a specific profile could make it easier for the profile to be doxxed/fingerprinted.

        Spitballing here but a service using simple key-pairs might be a better way to do this.

        • Users generate a key pair client-side.

        • Public key is stored on the server, acting as the user’s identity.

        • To update their profile, users sign the request with their private key. (Data is signed/verified client side before submission)

        • The server verifies the signature using the stored public key before edits can be made.

        Because data signature/verification are done client side theoretically you don’t need a ledger, your client can enforce profile state. (Maybe an HMAC is sent with the verified data and there reverted periodically by the client)

      • @homura1650@lemm.ee
        4•6 days ago

        Just public key cryptography. All your actual posts and comment history are already shared. What is missing is a way to authenticate yourself to anyone but your home server. If the protocol included every profile having a public key, you could then use that to authenticate to any server. And managing that private key is no more complicated than managing your private key in a block chain context.

        Non public info like subscriptions is a bit more complicated, because there is an actual policy question of who you share it with. You would either need to make it publicly available, keep a copy yourself, or have your home instance give it to you/the other server at the time you want to migrate.

    • @artificialfish@programming.devEnglish

      Lemmy added export data import data features I think. That’s plenty.

      I’m not even sure on anonymous Internet forums what I would want to move.

      • @Zero22xx@lemmy.blahaj.zoneEnglish
        2•6 days ago

        Yeah it’s nice to be able to import your list of subscriptions at least. But for comment history, I guess it depends what you’re getting out of a place like this. On Reddit, I liked going back sometimes and seeing what I was posting a couple of years ago. Especially if it’s personal shit, or even old review posts for movies or whatever. I like having a stable online presence or identity with a history to refer to.

        • @artificialfish@programming.devEnglish
          3•5 days ago

          Huh, I’m the opposite. I wipe all my info every year just to prevent being tracked. If I want to remember something I save it to my note taking app.

    • @SufferingSteve@feddit.nuEnglish
      2•6 days ago

      Just allow people to bring their own IDs to servers. Self sovereign IDs, or SSI for short.

      Blockchain has a usecase here, and it would be for disabling your ID in case of privkey leak, or for having people or entities strengthen or verify your pubkey or tie a hash of your birth certificate to it.

      Blockchains are great for providing reliable immutable and verifiable timestamps of data. The reason they are safe is because a lot of people have tied actual value to it, and thus most don’t want to invalidate the blockchain and destroy their value.

      These people are public officials, paid by the US government, having a public email addresses is the most common thing in every democratic country.

      I don’t know where you see an attack on a group of people here, but if you paid any attention lately, they are the ones attacking the population.

      Welcome to the adolescent life. The world we are in right now as nothing to do with the world of the past 50+ years. Fascism is back, officials are making nazi salute, USA is threatening to annex Canada, supporting dictators, and attacking the very existence of minorities. I’m sorry to tell you, but you will have to pick a side, quickly, because some really bad things are coming up. Learn to intellectually protect yourself, Find RELIABLE source of information, educated yourself, don’t fell for demagogy. That would be my best advice, good luck.

      I am 31 years old. A lot of my friends aren’t chasing partners, yet those who do don’t really want to make babies due to the long array of problems affecting quality of life.

      • @varyingExpertise@feddit.orgEnglish
        1•6 days ago

        Historically, people have made babies under much more dire circumstances and some of them made it through so we’re here today. I don’t feel like having kids either, I know, but I think this sentiment comes from a luxurious position.

            My mother was born in a basement during the bombardments of Dresden while the house above them was burning. Her mother had barely made it out of the second floor with burning phosphorus running down the walls. At this point, my grandparents had been on the road for quite a while, narrowly escaping the Russian front, starting with leaving behind every single thing they owned at their farm estate in Silesia. They had nothing but their clothes on their back and they already experienced, that nobody wanted anything to do with the refugees from the east.

            My inconveniences are mild, compared to that. They are significant for me, but historically, we’re still at an all time high compared to our ancestors, unless you have old money in your bloodline.

          Historically, people didn’t have easy access to multiple forms of birth control.

          But then they’ve already started working on that: Dobbs, period policing, “NO CONDOMS FOR GAZA!!!”

        Now? That shit has been going on since the 90s. My native population has plateaued since 1990. The only reason the population grew was due to immigrants.

        Same goes for America where a LOT of the populations got fewer and fewer kids since the 90s.

      What people want will have little to do with it, unfortunately. The “hope” is that contraception bans combined with misleading/nonexistent sex ed will maintain a population.

          Cut billions of dollars in aid to the poorest people in the world? Without having any authority to do it? An average person would stop and think “how many people are going to die from this?” Or, more selfishly, “what consequences will I face in the future if I do something so fundamentally evil?” Or, more practically, “is what I’m doing legal, and will Trump and Musk throw me under the bus and claim I acted without orders if I get criminally charged for this?”

          These kids aren’t thinking about long-term consequences. They’re thinking “the richest man in the world chose me to transform America and I have to live up to his expectations”.

          You’ve almost got it right. An average person would stop and think about shit like that. A psychopath would not.

          They may be young adults, but they are still adults. Adults still go to prison for doing stupid shit that gets people killed. All of these adults are getting people killed. Literally.

          You’re not wrong that they might not realize the consequences. But the consequences are still real. I would much prefer that the consequences of their actions are things like cyber bullying and phishing instead of things like WW3 and yet another holocaust

            Exactly. That’s why making it harder for them to dismantle the government is actively helpful to multiple nations, and being able to spoof emails from others on that list is probably the best way to get around any filters. Not that I’d ever advocate for doxxing. Nope. Definitely noone should ever do that or anything else illegal ever.

            Pre edit: Oh, lol. I just typed this out and realized you were the same guy from elsewhere in the comments. Feel free to completely disagree with me, but I’m leaving this here for others that want to read and think.

            There are a lot of great answers to the question, how about this one.

            When the USA spent 6.5 billion anually (started with George Bush) it prevented 20 million people from being able to spread HIV each year. This includes to children that would be born with HIV. Now you might not have the empathy to consider investing that for foreign adults and children at the cost of double what just Elon Musk got last year in government contracts, but let’s change from HIV to the next Covid. What would happen to the rate of infection globally if 20 million more people from some of the poorest countries became vectors of a highly contagious deisease? That sounds like a problem for the USA to me.
