Yeah, it doesn't make much difference, I just commented on the low-hanging fruit of what was clearly incorrect.
My bigger problem is with your fear-mongering and the gibberish that assumes that self-hosted FOSS solutions are somehow a viable alternative for the majority of users.

Don't get me wrong, I've stopped going to reddit altogether over the fiascos of last year, so I'm in no way suggesting they're any better (and are arguably worse).
