Wrapping legitimate concerns with emotive clickbait, marvellous.
Not everyone shares the RMS perspective, and those that do are particularly bad at getting the message out and explaining why people should care and why it's worth the trade-off.
- raxxorraxor 4y agoIt is not an easy topic to explain because the threat is abstract. Although the same arguments that lead to health information being protected apply here more or less 1:1. Why do you believe health information needs to be protected? Or do you believe it does not? Yes, you need some facilities to understand the threat, out of the question. But not too many either. I don't like to use Discord but do it anyway. In the browser at least with an anonymous handle. There is still data that is leaked and you can pretty reliably identify people by their writing style, but there might be information worth protecting. At some point you either you get it or you don't. There are many things like that.
- orbital-decay 4y ago> Wrapping legitimate concerns with emotive clickbait Should be the motto of that page - they've been doing it for years, while often extrapolating suspicions into reality or even being factually incorrect. Doesn't mean that the concerns aren't legitimate, though, Discord is spyware, just like the most other software.
