You’re an early adopter like rest of us. In time more will join, but currently it’s just us nerd (no surprise).

I use arch btw

Sounds like you’re getting too much of your info from here or reddit because the US is not anything like what’s portrayed on television overall. You’ve got your small pockets of crazies that are unfortunately very loud, hence the reason we look nuts. Yes, every 4 years we get to vote, and that could have some drastic changes on policies. But that’s America for you. Don’t bash us just because our current leadership is ass.

tldr

China wants to buy ownership in VPN services so they can get access to data of unsuspecting users.

Admittedly I really like Discord’s user interface. Love the servers that can be organized by channel and channel type, have permissions sets for different roles, etc. All that good shit. What I don’t like is the total control of one entity and lack of privacy. I’ve been looking at Matrix but it still has a ways to go before I could ever think of completely dropping Discord.

I’d be worried with that many hits.

What’s that? Are those sea shanties I hear being sung over the horizon?

Im new, but Id guess thats the reason. New people like me catching on to the fediverse stuff migrating from “mainstream” social like reddit.
