Idk why the heck you just got downvoted into oblivion for pointing out the irony in google calling this a "privacy feature." Good old reddit moment it seems.

lol it's no worries. actually I have the privilege of being bot-downvoted by CCP sympathizers because of comments on this post https://lemmy.world/post/2338419, there is also the possibility that I’m just an asshole.

He thinks he's getting bot downvoted, but there's actually people invested enough to stalk him. Cute.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, he's definitely "important"

I don't particularly care about your or his internet spats or attempt to control the all important narrative on lemmy. You are the one giving him rent free space in your brain and on your keyboard though.

See WarmSoda!? This is why I shouldn't have stopped. People ask this question, your advice was wrong! I'm going to continue what I was doing before you called me stupid.

edit: The link points to lemmy.world which is intermittently getting DDOS'ed.


Please ignore my negative initial vote score, as I have the privilege of being bot-downvoted by CCP sympathizers because of comments on this post https://lemmy.world/post/2338419, there is also the possibility that I’m just an asshole.
