    They will not harass me online. Lemmy users can and do.

    You are confusing privacy and security .

  This is a decent point. Ignore the inane downvotes you’re getting for simply expressing your opinion in a polite and good-faith manner.

    Yeah, I am ignoring the downvotes for the most part. It is so amusing that people will disregard everything a person has to say because they have one opinion that they don’t like.

        I trust Reddit more for security and my online safety, not privacy.
