No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

MODERATORS
I agree with you, but I would add that they also might be doing their best to crosstrack what other products you use and how. Obviously, that's one of the reasons why you have them quarantined in the first place. I just wanted to mention it in case a reader wants to set up a different network for each potential creepy device. I don't.
Crosstracking is indeed a thing. Obviously it has its limits, since the other devices have to communicate back. It should be easy enough to see all devices that are on the same network though.
IoT is a popular attack vector. So proper precautions should be made. Perhaps only give them access to your guest wi-fi. Perhaps a separate network entirely.
