This may look like a weird question btw.

I see constantly people here worried about digital security, I see people using Tor, deleting social networks, and just sharing the different levels of security that they use.

So I was wondering, how safe is Lemmy? Sure it doesnt collect info like Twitter and Meta does, but that doesnt mean its 100% safe. So what are the main problems we can have here? Is there anything the 3 letter agencies could exploit? Is there any preventive measures users could take?

    From the three letter agencies angle, the only known problems could be them monitoring the site or infiltrating by creating an account here but we are not that popular so the latter is unlikely.

    You should just take care to not dox yourself (unless for some reason you don’t mind your identity being known, even then I would advise against it).

      So its not likely they can access any kind of sensitive data lemmy might store?
