A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

If it was identifying Lemmy users, it definitely would be. But, it's a tool that reveals identities of a small, supposedly accountable group during real-life interactions, and we're just mentioning it, so it seems like there's at least an argument to allow it.
Not supposedly, a group that is duty bound to be accountable.
I think we all know the practice of that is a little hit-and-miss.
It is only "hit" if you mean hit by a police car or bullet. There is zero accountability
Well, that's too far in the other direction. Zero is a very small number, and Derek Chauvin is in jail.
lol, true. That is a rounding error though
Pretty much.
