The concept of Chicago being super dangerous is a incorrect right wing meme.
It has half the violent crime rate of Memphis, for example. And that violence is highly concentrated in particular neighborhoods.
Yes, they also haven’t implemented extension support yet.
I’m not convinced. There’s already plenty of choices for chrome reskins. I’d rather they make their search engine better. Maybe get independence from bing.
One problem with kbin is that the whole federation of instances thing didn’t work so well there. It seems all the users and all the content is one one server: kbin.social.
This is concerning since it introduces a single point of failure.
I’m confused about what kind of data you want to protect. If you mean your posts and comments, they are already publicly availible on the Internet. Meta doesn’t need to make a activitypub app that gets federated with Lemmy (or kbin) to aggregate and sell this data.
Is there an other kind of data that is visible only to server administrators?
This seems strange to me. Why do you doubt this? Even if bus / truck drivers drive drunk at the same rates as car drivers, there would be less drunk bus / truck drivers due to the numbers.
The absolute number is whats important because each drunk driver you add is extremely dangerous to society.
Also if society moved away from car driving, the loss in car vehicle miles traveled would not be compensated for by equal increases in truck / bus vehicle miles traveled because trucks and busses aggregate many trips together.
