All I know is that if you’re very worried about being surveilled by governments, the Fediverse is the absolute last place you should want to be.
This is one of the most transparent platforms we have come up with yet. Instead of all your data only being viewable by a host company, it’s viewable and able to be analyzed by basically anyone who puts some effort in. This makes it economically worthless, can’t really sell something that everyone can already just get for themselves.
We’re all out in the open here. So, wave to all the national security agencies everyone. Hiiiii! Hope you’re all enjoying the memes!
Most of the big social networks are owned by US companies. Those are forced to disclose user data to the US intelligence agencies, by the PATRIOT act and CLOUD act. And those will share it with the 14 Eyes.
So, you are right about Lemmy, but it’s not true that data on traditional social media is only viewable by the host company.

Let’s not forget that classic corporate social media companies generally have way more information on their users as well.
I’ve gotta get busy posting dick pics then
What data does Lemmy log?
Very little in its current form, I think mainly just IP address.
