You are right, I didn't read the rules. But, as you said, I should be able as it isn't an illegal topic mentioning privacy orientated os. Should I read every line of rule of each and everything I buy/use? Definitely. Do I? Nope, and I don't think anyone does as we usually tend to apply common sense. And again, you are right, but I think, as that's the point of my post, it is nonsense having that rule in a privacy forum. It is like not being able to mention chocolate in a bakery.

Fairphone 6 approaching? They are great, the project is amazing and I wish every brand would be like them in terms of caring about users and environment

But, wasn't it better to ban users that are creating that issue without being polite, rather than banning some healthy topics and discussions?

It is funny because the post doesn't mention that they don't want to be discussed through Reddit or that community, in particular.

They said that they were moving away from Reddit with their own community because it was really difficult to keep it up with all the blocks, bans, and a lot of issues with the topics that they were discussing, and with users being blocked because they were using VPNs or the Tor network.

So they don't say that they don't want to discuss things on Reddit, they just said that they were moving away for their own community.

It is funny because freedom means that if you meet with your friends in a bar, and you want to discuss Donald Trump, as an example, does that mean that you shouldn't talk about Trump in a bar because Trump said that he doesn't want to be discussed in that table? (He didn't say so I believe, it's just a random idea)

No, you can talk about Trump because we live in a freedom world where you can talk with your friends or with colleagues or whoever you want, about the things that you want as long as you don't hurt anyone or you don't talk shit about that thing. Isn't it?

What I've seen there within the post about Graphene OS moving away from Reddit, is not wanting to be on Reddit with their own community, as the rules of the platform means that they are getting a lot of removals, blocks and things like that, so they moved their own community, but that doesn't mean that people shouldn't talk about graphene. That's a huge difference, as a lot of people get to know this software reading about them on blogs, posts and Reddit. We need to encourage healthy conversations, even if we don't agree with the topic, but removing everything... Damm

 

I was posting some comments on Reddit, in the "Privacy" subreddit, about better privacy options than Android or iOS—like GrapheneOS. I just received a message from the bot deleting my posts that mentioned GrapheneOS or other privacy-friendly operating systems. I accept this, since I'm not the owner of the subreddit. But with all due respect, what's the point of having a place to discuss privacy if comments recommending great privacy-focused OS alternatives get deleted? I don’t get it.

It seems like people in that community want privacy, but apparently not enough to have an open discussion about alternatives. Sure, some people might disagree—that's normal in any discussion! Should we stop talking about the NSA because some people support what they do? I doubt anyone would suggest that.

Am I missing something here? Maybe I just don’t understand the reasoning.

As for everything, it has good things, and bad things. We need to be careful and use it in a proper way, and the same thing applies to the ones creating this technology

The movement it's expanding to all areas. Check the group Buy from Europe, inside Reddit, you'll see that people are trying to go as far as possible. Also, the Dollar is loosing value against the euro lately

Well, I guess that's related with the boycott to American products.
