The irony is this platform is about as insecure as you can get simply because of the federation perspective which really shows you how many “security minded” people talk out their fucking asses.
To be clear I’m one of them but I’m not deluded enough to remove myself from what is practical and reality vs what is baseless fantasy. They’re all in on fantasy.
It’s less than and more posting anywhere online. As soon as you use a computer attached to The Internet it’s not secure. Eyes are everywhere. You can pretend they’re not, but that’s the reality. Sure you can make it harder for people to snoop but it’s never impossible. What you do have control over is how you decide to share. Don’t pretend Apple is more secure than Google or vice versa. Pick your devil and live with them
But I agree with your comment here and the one I commented on originally.
In my eyes, Reddit vs Lemmy. 1 data controller and many data scrapers vs many data controllers and some data scrapers. Data will always be harvested, and data will always be sold/shared with third parties.

Is Lemmy supposed to be privacy focused, or is that what some claim? And if so, how is it supposed to be privacy focused?
