yes thank god someone else is saying it. everyone always acts like it's the smartest shit they've ever heard when it's pretty poorly thought out.
what if you were a civilization that made von neumann probes and sent them out to every star system in 100 light years. If you found someone with technology you don't have to send the signal directly back to your home world, you can bounce it between a dozen probes at different stars before sending it home and no one will know where you live.

all alien theories are pretty :so-true: brained, IMO. Until we have a better picture of how common life is or isn't, and how long it typically lasts or doesn't before being wiped out by cosmic phenomena, any answer to Fermi's Paradox is just people projecting their vibe onto the question. Star Trek is an optimistic answer, Dark Forest a pessimistic one, etc.
