minus-squareKhalBrogo@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 year agoAll I gave them are a private relay email address. So I am assuming there isn’t much else in terms of private data.

minus-squaredanc4498@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 year agoThere’s tons more data than that that can be picked up. To start with, what posts you interact with and how. I’m sure there’s loads of other data points that can be tracked.
minus-squarefrostphunk@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoThankfully the code is open source so a good answer can be had. Unfortunately not familiar with the code base Ofc instances themselves may modify the code to track certain things. However this highlights the importance of using instances you trust. I wonder if there is a checksum or something to verify what version of code an instance is using
