lmao so the "wall of text" is your best critique?
The naïveté of people here is astonishing
Privacy is under fire 24/7, it has been like that for decades, if not centuries. And it has never been more intense than in recent times.
I am just letting people know that small communities such as these, as well-intentioned and oriented as they may be, eventually become a target to subvert by those seeking to prevent them from achieving their goals.
Don't ban people if you don't want to, that's fine, but at least be aware of what's happening and what people really mean when they say that we should be more "moderate" or "sound less crazy".
The rest, as I said, is childish idealism or having dinner with the fox while you're the hen.
thanks, man. you know, when I typed that I did use "enter", but it dawned on me that I have to do it twice for the paragraphs to be displayed correctly. Cheers
