Given the amount of radical leftists using Lemmy, what’s the risk that certain intelligence agencies create nice apps for Lemmy and put them on the app store to gather data on leftists?

It would be fairly cheap to do so.

I was looking for apps earlier today and noticed there’s a bunch of new android apps for Lemmy and this thought occurred to me.

    I just access through the web behind a vpn. I would hope it is common knowledge that installing apps or programs for stuff is less secure, but who knows what tech the five eyes/mossad have these days and I could be mistaken. there isn’t even anything illegal going on here anyways
