what I've learned from this thread is that there is a class of people who are both very into FOSS and very against the idea of controlled networks – it's all encrypted who cares! – but I personally will never get that, especially since, well, encryption is hard, and who knows what other side channels are left open by virtue of just dealing with rando network traffic
@mattly im sorry for putting you on the spot and exposing you to these folks.
I hope you stay here at least until this place has reply controls which then gives you the bliss you need.
