  • I hope people aren’t under the impression that Lemmy is about privacy.

    Arguably it’s even less private than Reddit, as at least Reddit has some sort of controls on who can access your data i.e. whoever pays.

    But on Lemmy, that’s free with federation. Maybe not the same granular tracking data, but enough of users personal data is available as to not consider Lemmy to be a privacy centric service.















  • He literally makes an analogous comparison in the first sentence to cigarettes and social media.

    So I say again, why were you ignoring the obvious comparisons that I was referencing with my reply?

    And for the record, I completely disagree with your apples vs oranges dismissal.

    They are not apples and oranges, as both cigarettes and social media use are directly linked to statistically significant poor health outcomes in people who use them.

    But, if you really have a problem with that comparison, you should have replied to the person who introduced that lengthy line of conversation and not just people quickly responding to it.
