    I’m kinda new to all these reddit alternatives, someone linked me to that post when I was recommending lemmy so I was truly wondering.

      It’s a worthwhile question. I’ll just caution you against getting your answers from such emotionally-charged sources.

      And my earlier question to you was honest and in all seriousness. If privacy means to you that you can delete a comment you made, leaving no trace, then lemmy is not private.

      It was off-putting, the first comment I made in the wrong community (lemmy bug) and subsequently deleted when I saw my name still present as the comment author.

      To me though, when I think of my online privacy, I think more in terms of if my clicks are being correlated and assigned value in some heuristic system, or sold to third parties. Is the app phoning home to graph.facebook.com with a list of all my other apps installed, time spent on each, IMEI, etc?
