If you only talk about privacy on already private platforms, it will become a circlejerk in no time. You need to tell people who have no interest/experience in online privacy about it so you can further the cause. This is similar to why the FSF is on Twitter/X.

I guess having something in there is good but it's inherently an issue when the topic at hand is acting outside survelliance.

Let's say, for example, things escalate and reddit get fully weaponized for the benefit of one side, and they start pushing for known compromised VPNs. How can you fight that if pepole got into the habit of trusting such platform?

You tell them Reddit is not trustworthy and they should move out, of course. I am not denying that. I am saying the r/privacy community should not be dead because Reddit is a popular platform whether you like it or not, and people need to be informed about their right to privacy even on a known hostile platform.

We can agree to agree.
