So, among the first people you give access to the search are some known harassers? Sharp thinking, there.

So, among the first people you give access to the search are some known harassers? Sharp thinking, there.
- zmgsabst 4y agoI mean, look at the facts: - permanently archiving posts they know people don’t want them to - gave early access to known trolls - is now publicly crowing about how there’s nothing you can do about it - on a throwaway, because like most bullies they’re cowards Personally, I’m left wondering if there needs to be an organized crime investigation into KF, for organized harassment campaigns which violate local stalking or other laws, and the role people like this account play in orchestrating it. I think there’s be a certain irony to HN’s record of this comment being used to prosecute an accomplice in organized crime.
- BryantD 4y agoI mean, "kfsnd." KF. They're not exactly hiding who they are.
- zmgsabst 4y agoShrug. They’re on a throwaway because they’re too cowardly to admit who they are and face people like myself who want to hold them accountable for their bullying. I think they’re exactly hiding who they are.
- kfnvs 4y agoSeems prudent when you have people calling for you to be prosecuted as a criminal accomplice. ;)
- spanktheuser 4y agoNow now. Be fair. Some of us would be quite content with your ongoing persecution.
- zmgsabst 4y agoOf course — that’s the difference between us: I act in a way I can publicly own. You act in a way you know that you have to hide — because you’re aware that’s it’s anti-social.

- sebzim4500 4y agoI have no dog in this fight (probably will never use mastodon or this search engine) but I do find it ironic that this guy is being insulted for using a throwaway by people advocating for privacy on mastodon.
- zirgs 4y agoIf you don't want your stuff permanently archived then don't post it on public websites. It's sad that people don't give a shit about their privacy and overshare everything these days.
- zmgsabst 4y agoNo — I’m tired of saying all of society needs to walk on eggshells due to anti-social people like OP. If you go around a bar with a tape recorder and directional microphone capturing conversations from unsuspecting people and then use those private moments to launch protracted harassment campaigns, you’re an asshole. No matter how much you say “they didn’t have an expectation of privacy!”
- zirgs 4y agoThat's not comparable to posting messages on public websites that can be read by anyone without an account. You don't know who will read them. If you want to talk privately - talk to people that you trust and use apps like Signal that delete messages after some time.
- zmgsabst 4y agoWhen you speak in public, anyone can hear you. What specifically do you feel is different?
- zirgs 4y agoIf you say embarassing shit or shout obscenities in public then don't be surprised if someone pulls out their phone and starts recording it. It's completely different if someone sneaks into your home and leaves microphones there.
- zmgsabst 4y agoYes — and we’re asking about the case of a quiet conversation in a bar, where someone surreptitiously records using specialize equipment. I think it’s very telling you made a strawman rather than respond to that point.
