It was shortly discussed by the dev, before the ticket was deleted.
Both Apps by default use datadog for telemetry, with enough info to fingerprint a device. You can disable it in the settings, but in my opinion a dialog like βHelp the App get better by sharing xyzβ would sit better with a privacy focused App.
For me the discourse and how things were handled are a deal breaker.
A lot of people got very upset when Ubuntu made their telemetry opt out instead of opt in. I don't see why we shouldn't hold all privacy focused software to the same standard.
