counterpoint: this is a completely unreasonable and hostile way to approach discussions about user experience or privacy or values or technology and it’s why people just forego having the conversation entirely, leave it up to the nerds and hope it works out for the best (and for *most* people, it does).
screenshot below, i don’t want to pick fights with people on here, but this attitude sucks.

@golikehellmachine the simultaneous hostility to users who don't want to think about nerd shit, and commercial interests who'd have the resources to polish up the UX and stuff, is quite something. I believe in the open source philosophy, but volunteer projects usually fail to cross the chasm to mass adoption.

@golikehellmachine ideally some big players like the Mozilla foundation and some major media will take the ball and run with it, because I don't see this scaling otherwise.

@wymancr no one seems interested in explaining to me, an idiot, but an idiot who is good at getting smart people to pay attention to me, why anyone should bother here.
