It feels like this is very intense here compared to other social media services/protocols.

Why is that?

    it’s also an outlier position fueled by belief, and people tend to self-select to be around others who believe as they do, and punish those who don’t.

    it’s one thing to be concern about privacy, it’s another to browbeat anyone who doesn’t have a pihole server and selfhosts all their media content as being ‘fools’. i don’t use linux other than at my job, and according to lemmy techies I’m a heretic.

      I don’t think you’re a heretic but I do think Linux is the only OS I trust to respect me and my privacy.

        Linux doesn’t respect you. It’s a computer operating system.

        MS DOS also respected your privacy. And you can use Windows/Mac without the internet.
