Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected]
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

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
I think i commented on the wrong comment. Jaja.
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.
