    the (very based) devs are committed to user privacy, so your data will never get analyzed

    All credit to the devs, but Lemmy isn’t great on privacy. Your votes are technically public, and there is no way to guarantee what you delete or edit is actually deleted and edited. You’re right the data is not used to customize your feed, but not because it’s private. It isn’t.

      You are right. I don’t mind the upvotes being public, I do mind the deletion thing (although it’s an inherent flaw of federation, hard to get around it) but both are points against it having good privacy.

      I guess what I meant is that the platform makes no attempt at linking your online persona to anything else. It doesn’t even collect IP adresses and has very poor logging - btw this is actually a liability with the ongoing CSAM issue.
