Certainly, but we're not there (yet). Fretting about all the possible negative possibilities might feel like preparation, but your time would be better spent finding ways to protect our digital sovereignty/privacy, which is a good thing regardless of the market or political conditions.
I would love to find good ideas for protecting digital freedom, and freedom in general. May we can assume that those who do not care about privacy aren't using Lemmy... But I don't know how to protect ours except by defending it as a principle that should be universal.
And so a rule to restrict freedom except for us is not a good news to me. It is not as bad as if we were concerned directly, but it is still a step backward. Isn't it?
It certainly is. Rights for some and not others aren't rights, they're privileges, which we all know can be easily taken away.
