The worst comments are gone. I reported some to Github and they removed the responsible accounts.

People are outraged at opt-in functionality. Whether it should exist is worth discussing (and, of course, how it should be implemented) - but lets not pretend that there is some evil move to "steal" your data going on here.
- junon 5y agoYou should research the history of Muse Group. This is not their first time doing this.
- tazjin 5y agoDoing what exactly? Adding opt-in (why do people ignore this part?) functionality for tracking how their software is used, to figure out how to prioritise? I just don't see how people read evil conspiracy stuff into that. Searching for what this company supposedly did wrong brings up a bunch of terrible articles which literally quote stuff like 4chan greentext with fictional (and implausible) scenarios for how this can be abused. Is this tracking going to be useful for their purposes? No idea. Should they self-host this instead? Maybe, if that's feasible.
