It boils down to consent. You should always always get consent before taking an action that includes somebody else. Just because you can see me is not consent to record me. If you don't have consent, don't do it. It's as simple as that.

It's developers working on their time to build an app they want. You don't have the right to demand they do things your way.

Sounds like something is incorrect in your setup. Nothing Lemmy does requires x11, dbus, or any display technology.
