Oh yes I forgot that pointing out the flaws in privacy-related things, so people who are interested in switching know what they’re potentially getting in to, is a big NoNo here…all hail the perfect FOSS which can do no wrong.

Privacy and security just doesn’t mean as much to you as usability and connectivity. There’s nothing really wrong with that if you’re ok with accepting it.

The purity tests are so exhausting

    They’re the ones foisting their requirements on others. Somebody shares what they do, and the purists come storming in with their righteous condescension. Nobody asked for that negativity.

    In this case, your assessment is fair - user is harsh, name-calls, and does talk down to the person they were responding to/the reader. I got lost in the chain.
    
    Regardless, accusations of purity testing come up more than enough online for my liking and it isn’t always in response to righteous condescension, as you aptly described the user’s behavior in this example.

  Yup, privacy (and many other things) should be done to ones ability and not to ability of others.
