Doesn’t need to be the case if you segment your network to protect against ARP.

Don’t have the Wi-Fi network “upstream” of the LAN. You want the connection between the LAN and Wi-Fi to be through the WAN so you get NAT protection.
The risk is the ISP Wi-Fi. As long as you’re using WPA with a good long random passkey, the risk is minimal. However, anyone who had access to your Wi-Fi could initiate an ARP spoof (essentially be a man-in-the-middle)
ETA: the ARP table in networking is a cache of which IP is associated with which MAC Address. By “poisoning” or “spoofing” this table in the router and/or clients, a bad actor can see all unencrypted traffic.
As an FYI: this set up is vulnerable to ARP spoofing. I personally wouldn’t use any ISP-owned routers other than for NAT.
They’ve been an extremely reputable “record-less” VPN for multiple years now.
What a madlad
I’m optimistic, but I’m not seeing this in my experience, yet. Sure, the “front page” of Lemmy is good enough to keep me off Reddit. However, most of the individual pop culture communities I participate in are super active on Reddit and pretty much dead on Lemmy. For instance: /r/onepiece vs the multiple communities on Lemmy. That subreddit often has more comments on posts than members of the Lemmy communities.
I rolled Debian for a long time, but now use Ubuntu as there’s a lot more online guides on how to do stuff in Ubuntu than in any other distro (IME)
Technology is confusing to the masses, which news articles appeal to. They likely know what Twitter is, and that’s the best comparison.

Twitter has gotten A LOT worse since Musk took over. The blue check brigade is given priority across the entire site, so you’re likely to see all the bigots and qidiots more than those engaging in actual discourse.
For me, it’s the right OS for the job. I use Linux for servers, Windows for gaming/work, and MacOS for gaming/personal. However, Linux Gaming is definitely coming along partly thanks to Proton (Valve).
Physical media is still the best quality for those of us that care. I rip it to watch digitally, but I like having the physical backup and option to watch with minimal compression.
