    I was about to say, it’s the same system Reddit has just about, except instead of a corporation having your data, it’s just some rando with a server.

    I haven’t dug into the Lemmy system at all, but would it not be possible for the server owner or other users to run a lemmy version of reveddit? Might not be a system by default, but I’d assume any system with direct access to the data can copy it over to a 3rd party no problem.

      I’m banking that the rando doesn’t have the financial incentive to sell me out.
