    I wouldn’t say that’s particularly surprising. Most people in Lemmy and similar platforms have been here since the mass exodus from Reddit, or are programmers themselves. These groups are usually more privacy-minded, and see this as a significant privacy issue. This doesn’t really necessarily mean it’s an echo chamber though, I’ve seen a lot of people talk about how they use and like Windows, and I think the reason why they downvoted your comment (making an assumption here, I don’t see downvotes in my instance) is because it seems to be completely unprompted by anything or anyone, and a bit abrasive.

      That just so happens to describe me to a T. I’m a privacy-minded programmer who came here as part of the Reddit exodus. Because I’m a programmer and am aware of how these AIs function, I am not overly concerned about them and appreciate the capabilities they provide to me. I’m aware of the risks and how to manage them.

      The comment I was responding to brought up “Linux is better” unprompted. But that’s in line with the echo, so I guess that’s fine.

        Objectively, these three statements form a paradox. At least one statement has to be false.
