    Slanted but accurate.

    Neither Lemmy nor Reddit are private, they’re both publicly indexable (google et al).

    On the other hand reddit goes to a lot of trouble to capture everything about you. Lemmy is not quite that greedy.

    One is a for profit willing to do whatever it takes to make a buck. The other is FOSS and run by volunteers.

    I think it’s pretty clear which is the greater threat.

    If you post something on the internet, there should be no expectation that it won’t be preserved for an arbitrary length of time. Same as how you can’t legally claim that you expect privacy while in public

      This. Everyone needs to be mindful about what they post. You are communicating with real human beings afterall, with their own life history and memory.

      So be kind and give up the fantasy you can reverse your actions.
