Guess where? Unironically r/Save3rdPartyApps
The Reddit search for Lemmy also gives these privacy copy-pasta as top results when searching for Lemmy. I'm still betting that Reddit employees are involved in boosting these posts.
Definition of concern trolling. As if Reddit gives a shit about your privacy either.
Reddit: You're giving your information to strangers! You don't know what they'll do it with it!
Me: Weren't you going to sell my data?
Reddit: Yeah, but that's different! We're a respectable adult capitalist business. These are fucking commie pinko freaks we're talking about here!
All options that aren't federated are just as reasonably suspect when it comes to good stewardship of your data. A federated universe means if you really are that worried about it, you can spin up your own instance and be able to trust yourself with your own data.
Also, is it really a shocker that Reddit would turn to McCarthy-era Red Scare tactics? What's next, hiring the fucking Pinkertons like Wizards of the Coast did?
Also saying socialists are posting Nazi shit is weird. They're, uh, not the same.
I do have concerns about this instance and Lemmy in general because of the aura of accusations, but I haven't seen any real evidence yet.
And I wouldn't expect to from the instance itself. If there's heavy moderation you won't see the dissent.
