I’ve been sent this article about privacy on Lemmy and I would like to have more opinions about it.
I come from the Matrix world where there is no history deletion neither but at least everything is encrypted.
Can we hope anything about privacy on Lemmy ?
Especially with all the attention it’s getting right now.
Since Lemmy is free software, can someone just fork it and change it to be more privacy-focused?
Someone definitely could, but what privacy-oriented features would even be useful on a social media site, aside from encrypted DM’s?
It can, but without E2EE nothing is private. You can be sure that stays encrypted and only the other person is able to read it.
They can; but remember you are posting public information on a public forum. The privacy features are all about what you type or don’t type. Never type private information into a public forum.
