though if you aren't a communist you won't have a good time unless you have a humiliation kink

I don't want to make jokes but https://hexbear.net/post/4468531

So don't use those ones

fair enough.

The Lemmy software seems to only store IPs for login tokens (i.e. on login).

It's likely many instances store IPs short term in access logs as well.

Privacy and social media don’t go together. Logs of your IP are the least of your worries.

lemme.ee doesn't

Lemmy, and ActivityPub in general, is quite bad for privacy. To the point where I doubt it'd be legal for a company to host a server within the EU. Everything is handled by volunteers and amateurs. Privacy policies are bog standard or barely enforced. You have no idea what servers are using and selling your information, and any server can follow basically any community.

Yeah, especially Lemmy.

Lemmy is apparently bad if you want privacy.

IMO IP logs aren't that big of a deal.

This server is probably the best for privacy too FWIW

For what it's worth, they have their domain back. It seems from a skim from the front page they're just deciding how to refederate (allow list or block list, basically they are trying to decide if they will automatically federate with new instances).

At the time of writing this comment the votes are close and allow list is winning (many commenters don't want to federate with new instances unless they are approved).

Lemmy.ml requires no email. The only person who can doxx you is yourself.

your own self hosted one

It says "nothing is here" when I click through. Do they block some third party apps like Voyager?

Lemmy.world blocks piracy servers and instances
