Freedom can’t exist without Privacy

Of course it can. They are simply 2 unrelated concepts. Expressing yourself on reddit was like going into public space, and yelling whatever you had in mind. Doing so on fediverse is the same, but with microphones picking up your yelling to propagate it around the world.
You can have Freedom to express yourself while respecting your privacy: just don’t yell it (i.e. chose a closed private invite only community) or go to som remote forest / desert where there is nobody to hear you yell. Join an invite-only group/room on signal or matrix.

Freedom and Privacy can only exist with common sense.

I had not heard of that new shit. Randomnly went to theverge, and and saw they are forcefeeding this new Threads to everyone as the “top articles”. Almost 100K posts already, 35millions accounts activated. People just don’t learn.

The core issue is not the technology imho. It’s the people : their rampant narcissism that has become the new norm since facebook, and the urge to always post useless crap about themselve everywhere, then suprise-pokemoning when they realise it may not have been the brightest of ideas.
