I’m aware many people here have a lot of tech knowledge. I don’t see how that proves what I wrote was wrong. Firstly because there are also a substantial number who don’t fit that mold. And secondly because experts can also get caught up in groupthink and misinformation. Especially on topics outside their specific subfield.
People who are into technology tend to know a little bit about a lot of things that still rises well beyond the level of the average person. You don’t get onto Lemmy without having some tech ability unless someone helped you set it up.

possibly due to misinformation about its environmental costs.
You made a very strong set of assumptions:
The environmental cost is exaggerated
People are misinformed about it
You then failed to substantiate your claim with any argument or evidence.

Give up, there’s really no point trying to argue on the internet with anyone that has such a smug superiority complex.
