Overall, I really like Lemmy, and the communities therein. There do seem to be some more radical takes on this platform than I’m used to. I haven’t heard of anyone being swatted or anything like that on here (or even actively doxxed), but there do seem to be more radical takes that what I’m used to on other platforms. I generally don’t engage with those groups. I’m just here for the memes, and to share my knowledge on topics I like. I don’t want to have to worry much about some bored, idealistic shitlord taking offense and going out of their way to nuke me.

As a new motorhead, how carefully do I need to tread, compared to other platforms? I ask, because it seems like posts on here are cast to a much broader network.

    That’s very insightful. I still don’t think that qualifies as being ‘public’, but given a malicious instance operator they could be exposed if that post is accurate.

      Yes it’s not ‘public’ in a broadcast sense but it’s in the ‘no reasonable expectation of privacy’ bracket.
