You are simply toeing the line of corporate propaganda, that says people must always submit to centralised authority instead of exercising their own judgement.

That is what is leading us to dystopia.

We are not "pretending", we are simply stating that the magnitude of risk is absolutely tiny.

Insecurity is freedom. Don't let them take away the latter in the name of security.

How is sharing source "submitting to a centralized authority"

I don't run any binaries if i can help it

you think the risk is tiny, but:

A) the risk exists.

B) you’ve taken no steps to verify that it’s tiny

C) you’re trusting new users just as much as well established users

D) your community is not as obscure and tiny as you imagine when it floats to the top of HN.

It’s not corporate dictatorship to say “there are bad actors out there looking to take advantage of naive users”; it’s reality.

You can refuse to acknowledge that reality, that’s your choice.

However, it’s probably irresponsible to encourage other people to do so.
