  Is Lemmy somehow invulnerable to this? Can’t it just be scraped the same way.

    100% it can, and worse yet, it can be scraped and analyzed like this by Meta, or Reddit, or your nearest fascist dictator.

    But that’s also pretty much the entire internet in any forum or social media platform, so although I don’t like it, I figure that’s more or less just part of using the internet.

    To me it’s much like the whole “There’s no expectation of privacy in public.”

      “There’s no expectation of privacy in public.”

      There’s no expectation of privacy anywhere. This has all been taken way too far.

      Most importantly, by using Lemmy you aren’t enriching a techno-fascist platform. They can scrape lemmy the same way they used to scrape reddit, but at least I’m not benefiting a greedy little pig boy fucker.

    It can, but it’s not built-in into the system and shown to every moderator in their UI.

      Also your email and IP address is only available to the instance owner. So the only PII is what you share.

    Nope, but at least I’m not supporting a company that actively does this.

    They can even scrape likes/dislikes and make profiles for people that don't comment.

    Lemmy isn’t monolithic. They’d have to hit every instance separately. The big ones like lemmy.world are a prime target though.
