Why?

I need a lot more time to think about whether or not to sabotage the reporting system, but here's some metacognition:

  • There's an ick factor (and maybe a grave sin, still to be determined) in using active deception to interfere with government stuff.
  • So far, I have not confidently determined that there's no situation where deporting someone is a good thing that would be made too difficult by the sabotage. Only 90% sure.

Would you rather deport 10 people for no reason at the cost of not deporting 1 that deserves it? Would you rather execute or imprison 1 innocent than not execute or imprison 1 deserving? ICE will hit a point where legal citizens are also reported to a place they are not citizens. Pick your ratio of what is acceptable but the innocent will be hurt.

If it wasn't clear before this election it must be obvious now. The majority of the government is the enemy of the people who live in this country. They are doing everything they can to keep us down, having just enough that we don't revolt. "Active deception to interfere with government stuff" is a moral good, certainly not a "grave sin".

This is for posts that I care most about people seeing if they want to see posts from me in particular.

Instagram is especially annoying pooprietary software, so I don't want any of my things to be Instagram-exclusive. Initially, my strategy to mitigate incentives for viewing my Instagram account instead of my Lemmy account was just to not make Instagram-exclusive posts. Then I realized that this results in curation and reduced clutter that are both Instagram-exclusive, so now "dullbananas highlights" on Lemmy will be the exact same set of posts that's on Instagram.
