When I read the headline without context, I thought casting directors were just casting actors unseen over the phone.
But this is worse.

But tech IS political. Can you show me an example of non-political tech?

Human life, human endeavors, human ambitions, are all inherently political. Politics is literally humans disagreeing on something. Technology is politics. Lemmy itself, the Fediverse, the software it's built on, is inherently a political act of rebellion against corporate controll of discourse. Shitposting was literally invented through political discourse, for political purposes. That's what it's always been about.

Wanting to avoid politics is a political choice. It's Chooseing to be ignorant of the world shaping forces that effect your life and the lives of everyone else.

I've got no advice for you.
You do you. But whatever you may do, will be political. There's no way around that.

Privacy is antithetical to ActivityPub federated networks. Everything on Lemmy, Mastodon, Pifed, PeerTube, etc is absolutely public. There is no way to prevent people from seeing anything to post to any of these services.

Real privacy needs to be a built in function from the very beginning. It's not really possible within ActivityPub.

Everyone needs to understand this. There is no privacy here. There won't be, because there can't be. That's the way it is.

I'm completely happy with Boost
