Lemmy
Hey do you want to go get some pizza after work? BTW I love this new messenger called Lemmy, I feel so much safer that we're not being spied on! C ya
How? What? Why?
Comment sections and DM. Because you can and you should
Lemmy isn't secure and that's OK because it has a different use case. The owner of your instance has acces to all your messages.
Bruh, this is a privacy nightmare! Worse than Meta! No worse than everything! I am betrayed! I am bamboozled! I have said many things that can't see the light of day! This is blacknail! What should I do now? Where do I go? What do I use? Who do I trust? If Lemmy isn't secure than what does that mean for free speech within the rules? What does that mean for the transfer of ideas? What pressidemce does this set for the rest of the fediverse?!?!121 I must search my souls for the answer, maybe Anom I heard that they don't spy on you.

Federation is the opposite of privacy
