I'm getting very tired of the privacy nuts. I get that it's important, but I don't want to hear about it all the fucking time. I also miss my city subreddit, but I'd rather hear about how Google's fucking me over for bajillionth time than use the Reddit app.

Agreed. Foss, privacy, Linux. Topics that are too high a proportion of all Lemmy posts.

I mean, Lemmy itself is FOSS, and the vast majority of instances are running on Linux. The main reason I am here and not on Reddit is that Lemmy is FOSS.

Lemmy wasn't specifically built for being primarily a platform for discussing the things it was built on. It makes sense there's a nice lively community for all of those topics, but they are so out of whack proportion wise with the types of content I want to see.

Yeah, some made paranoia going on in some communities. The amount of people telling me I shouldn't use the apps on my smart TV due to privacy yesterday was mental.

I got into a similar situation ower my bedside lamp... I perfectly understand what you mean.

I wonder if this is what the internet was like in the 90s when everyone on it was lien the Lone Gunmen from the X-files?
