Yeah, they're not pushing it because it matches some far-right authoritarian ideology Meta itself has, they're pushing it because conservatives taunting libs who fall for it and try to talk reason into conservatives drives tons of engagement.

about the Lemmy devs
I mean, the devs haven't made it a secret about how they fully believe Chinese nationalist propaganda.
Not that it really matters though, since if any issues did come up, Lemmy itself would be forked with new devs "in charge" even if the original devs still continued most of the work. The lemmy.ml instance itself would be a different issue, though.
I see a lot of people talking about specific parts of 5G but honestly most of them are optional and only some of them will be active at once.
"Regular" 5G uses the same frequencies as 2G, 3G, etc. The carriers will be moving more frequency ranges of older Gs to 5G as time goes on.
In general, we can send more data at once because we have better math for sending data. There's not really an ELI5 that can explain that part besides more math.
Another part is there's also more math so that the phones can take turns talking better or split up frequencies better, so they don't have to re-transmit as much.
If you're in hyper-crowded areas, they made a new frequency range that cannot go through walls, but is way faster than the regular ones that we've been using. It's only good for like sports stadiums and stuff, and you almost never use this. It's called mmwave (millimeter-wave) and you can safely ignore any marketing around it. Not many phones support it yet because it's useless 99% of the time.
They're extremely pro-China. They deny the Uyghur genocide, by saying it's just as real as "white genocide". It's mostly criticisms that I would say are valid except that mixing in the Chinese propaganda kinda spoils the whole thing.
My expectation is that some people will just use it as an excuse because they actually enjoy Reddit turning into 9gag with NFTs. If it really becomes an issue, Lemmy will be forked, and new devs will lead it.
(There's also still kbin.)
the boss could technically read anything we wrote
My old work actually ran into some issues because they couldn't see DMs/private channels.
Maybe this is a cloud vs. self-hosted thing? It's been a few years since I've worked there though.
IIRC free tier on ProtonVPN blocks whatever peer to peer traffic they can detect.
I wouldn't worry about privacy within the contents of the VPN though, as a lot of their services do require money so they should have quite a lot of funding through the paying users (like me.)
They do what they can to promote as much privacy as possible, but email really doesn't lend itself well to that just in general. I would always suggest accessing any clearnet site through a VPN or Tor if you do sensitive work online.
Lol what. We have machines and automation now. We can just make manufacturing equipment "suffer" while the humans "get ahead".
The zero-sum worldview has been dead since the industrial revolution. Any widespread suffering at this point is the fault of humans.
Edit: unless you're trying to say something else?
I've at least heard people defending PHP recently. Supposedly it's, uh, better than before.
That said if there was a community fork of Lemmy that people started organizing around I wouldn't mind seeing if there was something I could help with.
On another topic, there are rumors circulating that we are fascists or supported genocide.
This is the part that I think will make it more difficult, since I imagine there are quite a few devs that would rather contribute to projects by less politically-outspoken project owners.
(I would also note that they don't deny being tankies, and tankies tend to insist they aren't fascists. They also deny the Uyghur genocide so they have that going for them too.)

$70 is typical for that, except it's 30GB of data for the month before they reduce you to around 25kB/s.
