Amish is also wrong. The Amish aren’t against technology which is why you’ll see Amish communities using things like credit card readers, industrial motors, and even computers.
The Ordnung, an Amish community’s governing body, will review proposals for technological adoption every 6 months and hear arguments for and against adoption. The decision to adopt is screened against potential harm to the community based on a number of factors.
Honestly, the model the Amish use would be an excellent way to achieve a pro-social form of what the Luddites wanted to achieve.

Please let’s try and keep this above middle school. The whole point here is that comparing people who fundamentally disagree with this tech as “Luddites” or “Amish” betrays a lack of understanding of those two groups of people.
