    I don’t know why people keep attributing privacy to Lemmy when ActivityPub is anything but.

      That was what I was going to say.

      That said, if someone detects some sort of data-mining plagiarism bot sucking down everything on an instance, it can be defederated very quickly.

      And generally that’s fine. If you’re posting stuff publicly, expect it to be public.

      Lemmy gives away for free what Reddit is desperately trying to put up walls on so they can sell it, but I wouldn’t call it “private” because it’s monetized.

      Lemmy is the opposite of privacy, and that just makes sense if you 🤔.

        I desperately want all my posts on all forum like sites to be easily indexable by search engines. That Reddit blocked other search engines besides Google from indexing is crazy.

      Is ActivityPub logging which IP I post from? Is ActivityPub monitoring which communities I view? Is ActivityPub blocking me from browsing with my VPN on?

        That depends on the implementation.

        That—believe it or not—depends on the implementation.
