I believe you and your follow up comments to the one earlier seemed to point that direction, but there is a bit of a tone in your first comment that could reasonably be misconstrued as undue skepticism in favor of flock.

I would just be mindful of how you talk about the subject, if you’re looking for feedback. If not, just ignore me I guess ha

I don't think this kind of metadiscussion is productive on these kinds of threads, sorry. Just a personal preference to avoid it as much as possible.

		You actually started the meta discussion and they were just replying to you: > One problem in these discussions is that it's virtually impossible to have a conversation or to explore the topic in any depth because every single comment on the thread is read purely as advocacy. People "advocate" in these threads because we don't want to live under mass surveillance. This has already been discussed in depth in books like 1984.

		For someone who knows “what this forum used to be like” you seem very incapable of following its long-established, basic etiquette rules.
