Comment on Reddit will lock some content behind a paywall this year, CEO says
TORFdot0@lemmy.world 6 days agoAt least Lemmy is open source and there isn’t any advanced analytics running and telling server operators exactly what you look at and for how long. And if there was, it would be discovered quickly and you could host your own instance and only look at content locally.
Your posts aren’t private. But that’s the whole point so that they can be seen and federated

No it wouldn’t. People need to understand that open source provides 0 security against intentional abuses when there’s a networking layer involved.
I could be running an analysis on the data your instance handed to my instance just like Reddit is … and you would have absolutely no way of knowing.
