For poor people (ex lumenproletariat, but incl anyone struggling, which incls some middleclass 'big spenders') hard to give a hoot about privacy when like the bottom 2 rungs of maslow's hierarchy of needs are lacking.

I personally bumped into digital privacy/the fediverse somewhat randomly when covid lockdowns were happening. Always sorta had an innate concept of privacy compared to some people though.

The real question is: Why big characters in the libre software culture are not promoting/use it?

Guessing he means folks like Moxie Marlinespike, Popey, Torvalds, Cory Doctrow (though I think he's on Mastodon actually), etc.
