“I use Signal to hide my data from the US government and big tech”
“Wait, you seriously still use Reddit? Everyone switched to the Fediverse!”
“Wow, can’t believe you use Apple! Android is so much better.”
No one who isn’t terminally online understands what these statements mean. If you want people to use something else, don’t make it about privacy and choose something with fancy buttons and cool features that looks close enough to what they have. They do not care about privacy and are literally of the mindset “if I have nothing to hide I have nothing to fear”. They sleep well at night.

Thank you, sometimes I feel like I’m going crazy reading comments here lol
if I meet you and you ask for signal straight up either your a criminal or hella 🤓. we can move to signal after we know each other.
What are you talking about?
real talk this makes perfect sense I forgot lemmy skews to the type of people who text in full sentences and all punctuation
I feel the same way when someone asks if I use kik.
Like I just know that’s not someone I want to continue to associate with.
I’m also of that mindset. I moved to Lemmy to support the protests, not because of privacy.
Fuck them. Life should be hard for the lazy and ignorant.

And that’s why the world is rapidly going to hell. Everyone is under attack and almost no one is willing to so much as lift a finger in resistance.
They don’t feel like they’re under attack. They’re moving in the opposite direction than the defence.
My point would be that the poster is going to a university that has access to all their records, plus they are still part of their parents’ data.
