Warning: Lemmy (federated reddit clone) doesn’t care about your privacy, everything is tracked and stored forever, even if you delete it

    Slanted but accurate.

    Neither Lemmy nor Reddit are private, they’re both publicly indexable (google et al).

    On the other hand reddit goes to a lot of trouble to capture everything about you. Lemmy is not quite that greedy.

    One is a for profit willing to do whatever it takes to make a buck. The other is FOSS and run by volunteers.

    I think it’s pretty clear which is the greater threat.
