Do you think sometimes privacy practices of people at c/privacy or r/privacy communities are overparanoid or take things too far?

I've had people tell me that this is (their words, not mine): "mental illness"
There are probably some people that go too far, but that is true in any community. There are also people with a very legitimate threat model, for example if they are from insert your favourite dictatorship here and they have insert opinion against said regime
Yep, and then there's probably a good number of people who have no idea of threat modelling who just copy those actions to say they have "good privacy".
Tbh, I'm closer to the latter.
I mean, it can be a bit of an issue everywhere.
Hilariously this post was just above this one in my feed.
