The last thing anyone who uses Lemmy would want is his data leaking to google.

Damnit. This had been my favorite app.

I guess the closed source makes more sense now though...

Edit: dev comment below about closed source, and another in this thread about being able to toggle firebase off in a future update, which sounds like a reasonable compromise to me.

That is not the reason. I've answered this question multiple times before so I'll just link my detailed response about this here: https://lemmy.world/comment/1606697.
