also i can’t self-host.
!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com seems pretty active to me.Sorry, misread privacy for piracy. I’ll show myself out.
This server is probably the best for privacy too FWIW
I would think the most privacy friendly would be to make a random user and not give out too much info. There isn’t anything else other than email. Hosting your own instance doesn’t equal privacy either as it’s super obvious since all content on that instance is from that user lol
I’m not sure, but I’ve heard that some instances log IPs.
if theyre smart, they dump their logs regularly. i think my instance is 36 hours. that data is a liability.
I think they all do in the logs.
Privacy and social media don’t go together. Logs of your IP are the least of your worries.
Yeah, especially Lemmy.
Lemmy is apparently bad if you want privacy.
IMO IP logs aren’t that big of a deal.
Given that all Lemmy instances are run by private individuals you should probably think about using a vpn (or dns proxy at the very least) to obfuscate your true location and data. This applies to any mainstream or corporate social media platform, obv.
Some instances block connections from VPN.
lemme.ee doesn’t
Lemmy.ml requires no email. The only person who can doxx you is yourself.
your own self hosted one
