In some of the music communities I'm in the content creators are already telling their userbase to go follow them on threads. They're all talking about some kind of beef between Elon and Mark and the possibility of a boxing match... Mark was right to call the people he's leaching off of fucking idiots.

I think where privacy minded people fail to understand is that for most people we are not committing crimes or shady shit online therefore why care?

Yeah, I hate that argument (the typical "If you don't have anything to hide, why should I worry"). Because you might not have anything to hide (debatable), but you know who does? Journalists, political activists, people in witness protection, people who suffered from domestic violence or human trafficking and need to hide, etc....

Don't collectively erode people's right to privacy, because there are people whose lives depend on it; and who knows, you might need it some day.

I agree with you 100% but it's a very black and white way to look at things and the world is grey. Furthermore, the world feels drastically different than we do.
