It’s weird. The simple fact of being watched and told what you can say. And the possibility that what you’re saying is being edited and what you’re hearing is edited too.

This strikes me as abhorrent. But most of the people here call it necessary, preferable and even desirable.

    Yeah, but my point is most of the people here will actually argue in favor of it. Saying that it’s the best and only way etc. you got to wonder where that came from

      On Lemmy? This is the place that’s jazzed for GrapheneOS releases so they can degoogle their phone. We go on and on about private messenger apps, Proton, running non-corporate OSes, and privacy. Most of us are here because we don’t like the shitty direction Reddit is taking.

      I think you can make the argument that generally people are ambivalent about privacy, but Lemmy is a definite exception to that rule.
