I’ve never understood why people are willing to give all their data to Facebook or any other hosted product which collects data, but are unhappy when open source projects collect anonymized metrics to improve the product.
In this case there’s a flag advertized to turn it off, hopefully someone will be reading the docs before it’s deployed in production?
Do you think AWS and GCP don’t collect metrics?
Happy to hear the other side, my knee-jerk reaction is also usually “you don’t need this data”, but when thinking as an owner, i would find this data invaluable to improve the product, getting funding (please donate, there are X millions of users) etc.
