There is no community and there never has been. There’s only people that cling to the words of youtuber personalities like him and others who don’t buy into it and live their own lives on their own terms. It really becomes apparent when he goes out of his way to make posts like this one, he is only in it for the revenue this argument brings. Especially when they’re giving bad advice and spreading misinformation about other projects.
Gathering people around a central topic and creating a ‘community’ base on it is what reddit did so well, and in the end, why it ended up being so terrible. It just serves to create yet another echo chamber. When you’re dealing with an esoteric topic like ‘privacy’ which has multiple different meanings to multiple people, grouping people around it is the equivalent of cyber suburbia. These topical communities are a farce and should not be something anyone defends.

You keep contradicting yourself, do you think there’s a community or not?
that’s why i put ‘community’ in quotes.
