thank you.

I appreciate the detailed response, especially the idea of having separate accounts for separate interests (even if I most likely won’t actually do that). At some point, the number of measures one takes in the name of their online privacy becomes too much. I think that, for now – as someone who had a single Reddit account which had an extensive public history through several communities at the time [I didn’t know any better back then] – it’s enough to just switch from these profit-driven fascist-feeding corporations to platforms like lemmy.

Maybe in the future I’ll have another phase where I take it one step further, I don’t know, but I don’t want to make my using the internet become a nightmare.

It’s a realistic appraisal of Lemmy vs Reddit you’ve provided, I feel.

thank you for the information.

i know posts/comments are public, along with everything, i thought that would be a concern if you’re shifting from reddit because its not, well, private? asides from posts/comments obviously, but them being trackable to a user alongside user information like age, gender, geographic location, IP address, etc.

That’s obvious, but before, we could use GrapheneOS and F-Droid etc to defend it ourselves. I’m not expecting Google to help, just hoping the resistance has something up its sleeve too.

It’s not private? Does that mean it’s the same as reddit??

Wait, so is Lemmy no better than Reddit?? Not OP but would like to know.

The same single post gets retweeted and reposted on X and other socials over 100’s of times and even more with the biggest posts, so it shouldn’t be impossible

isn’t matrix compromised and holding ties to israel?

what’s a subpoena?

How do we defend our privacy on Android now?
