It does seem like a large number of Lemmy users are elitist snobs. I thought this place was turning out better than Reddit, but it’s looking like I was wrong. People like that ruin platforms like this and sour the experience.
There are many entitled people here. Some of them are from linux community. Anything other than that is bad and 1000 posts related to that. Another is sync and other apps. Especially open source only good, closed source everything bad. My feed was full of that. Even though I am a sync user i feel angry when seeing so many non sense posts supporting and against that. Even some communities not related to these are posting this.
The reason why many people swapped was because Lemmy harbors smarter individuals. I need to feel superior simply because I use Lemmy, Otherwise there’s no point.
Not wanting to use any app that goes to a google server for a lemmy app is being privacy focused. Telling other people their preference in not valuing the same thing is wrong is elitism - saying that no app should do something, and nobody else should use an app that does that thing, because you prefer it that way - that’s elitism.
Sync and the people who like it aren’t invalid just because your preference is being privacy focused.
Along the same lines, it’s totally possible to espouse the values of privacy to others without being elitist, as long as you aren’t talking down to other people or invalidating other people’s preferences, because that’s elitism.
So? If you’re running an unaltered vendor version of Android chances are incredibly high much of this information has already reached Google, Meta or any other mega corp. You’re shit outta luck here boy.

Toughen up, elitist jackasses are everywhere, they were even on reddit before we left. It’ll pass.

I think a lot of you are confusing privacy focused to elitism.
No data should ever go to a google server from Lemmy app ever.
A lot of people seem to think the issue is that’s he’s charging for it.

I’m am saying it is objectively bad thing for an app to run through google servers
I’m saying it’s my choice where I want to send my data.
And Im saying it is objectively a bad one.
If you want to keep touching the hot stove, all power to you. Nobody is going to argue it’s not a bad choice to touch a hot stove though
It’s not your choice stop arguing
