Here is an article exposing how the government is trying to find AI to filter "existing enterprise datasets" to look for "terrorists". This means they're going through forum and chat logs of the last ten years, just like you said. They are also redefining "terrorism" to mean essentially anything a person who is not a hateful magat drone might talk about.

This is specifically for executing NSPM-7, which defines terrorism as:

"domestic terrorism priorities include politically motivated terrorist acts such as organized doxing campaigns... trespass... and civil disorder."

Have you downloaded a picture of an ice agent's face or upvoted a website that that has them? Are you talking about maybe going to a protest or participating in a strike? This is you.

"Investigations should prioritize crimes such as the following: conspiracy against rights under 18 U.S.C. 241"

That law criminalizes an agreement (conspiracy) between two or more people, to interfere with constitutionally or statutorily secured rights. The reason this law was chosen is that the commission of an overt act is not an element of the offense. The conspiracy itself is the crime.

The offense is also a felony punishable by any means up to and explicitly including, life imprisonment and the death penalty.

Then the national security directive goes on to state that it is now "a violation of someone's rights" to express displeasure or discomfort at their anti-trans views, their racist views, their religious views, or to say anything anti-american.

Have you expressed any of these views? That's you. And it doesn't matter how well you hide, this system states it will specifically be using biometric data, like the cadence of your messages and your word choice, to unmask you. This is something AI can do very well.

The concentration camps are for us. Ice almost, almost has as large a budget as the entire Chinese military. Ice is the third best funded military on the planet, and it is already executing Americans in the street, and they haven't even gotten started yet.

Preach. I just migrated here and found a disturbing lack of casual communities with any real activity. A real bummer because I miss the old internet and figured this could replicate it. Still, if you build it, they will come. Maybe it's a user count issue.

Your first 3 are what I'm talking about and I'm into politics. You're on an instance that has probably been algorithmed out of getting things to the front page too. lemmy-world has a lot of control over what users see because they're so big.

You have to go looking for places to subscribe. Once you do that, you'll start seeing more, not reddit amounts, but some of more of what you like. I still don't know how to link across instances, but these have places.

• https://sh.itjust.works/c/trendingcommunities@lemmy.cafe
• https://sh.itjust.works/c/lemmydirectory@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Every now and then there are big posts of best communities to recommend. We're probably due for one because I'm noticing a small migration.

Also, you might not have gone through your reddit withdrawal yet. It takes a couple of weeks, but this place isn't as addicting.

Yeah it'll find its place like all new tech

I think that was just on the iOS side. Android had a lot of really good apps.

Prob couldn't figure out how to read the code or do anything with it, so they shut it down lmao. Can't have nice things on Reddit.

Yeah it's infuriating watching good users disappear. It would be fine if they came here but, they don't. I have a duplicate of all my subs on Lemmy for when the time comes.
