Because I don’t want to live in a bubble? Isn’t the whole point of Internet forums to have dissenting opinions? I made that comment to start a discussion or have others reflect on what their perspectives might be, because it really seems like almost all of Lemmy is anti-corporate, pro-hyper-privacy. I’m not pro-corporate by any means, but I really think it’s time people reflect and think of reasons why some people may use a platform like Discord, instead of just assuming they are stupid, or otherwise lesser, and like being spied. Because it’s just simply hyperbolic and not true. Not everything has to be FOSS, there are use cases for otherwise.
I believe communication should not be a commodity. It should be FOSS. I believe discord is free because it feels like something that provides little to no value, and yet the company has shareholders and must provide value to them. Ridiculous.
Why do you read Lemmy, while discounting the opinions and perspectives of other people here?

That is a fine perspective, and I’m here to learn about yours. However, that does not make it spyware.
