As we are concerned about privacy, I am curious just to understand if lemmy can be at some point exploited by someone to profile its users.

I am mainly thinking about matching navigation history with identifiable information... You are right, It's a tricky thing...

I also wonder, if lemmy becomes a thing, with numbers in the same order of magnitude of reddit, if and how gdpr will affect server admins... Having a privacy anonymization tool built in by design might avoid headaches on the long term
