      Yep, and yet almost anyone who has spent any time on Lemmy knows what I’m referring to (whether they recognize it and do so as a problem is another matter)

        I have no idea what you are referring too, but I only look at my subscribed communities, so I have no idea what’s going on in the “Lemmy meta.” Being able to only see the communities I subscribe too is one of my three primary reasons for coming here.

        The developer’s politics vs suspecting a platform may be developed and compromised by state actors are on an entirely different level.

              Depends on who you ask. It’s managing risks for me either way.

              Also, you are literally comparing them while claiming they are not comparable.

              This is like another version of the age-old “Grammar Nazi” disagreement over one definition over other, when there are actually multiple ones - except in this case, it involves a value judgement. You are right, but so am I, because either would have been a death sentence for me - if it didn’t provide benefits I was willing to manage risks for (what I was implying as the subcontext).

              You are not me, you are right they are not the same, and it matters or doesn’t really matter for those whom both would have been a death sentence. If you are being consistent, I assume that you do not and will never use Matrix, while I still would. I’ll just have to be really careful and keep it limited so Mossad does not come over to assassinate me.
