I hope people aren’t under the impression that Lemmy is about privacy.
Arguably it’s even less private than Reddit, as at least Reddit has some sort of controls on who can access your data i.e. whoever pays.
But on Lemmy, that’s free with federation. Maybe not the same granular tracking data, but enough of users personal data is available as to not consider Lemmy to be a privacy centric service.
I bet some people/entities use S3 buckets, SQL, etc…etc… just one offs for certain services. AWS can be the cheaper option. But you get what you paid for…
Itd be idiotic to host a fediverse instance on big cloud providers.
care about privacy and security? dont host on AWS

tbf reddit prolly tracks more data through their app (post view time, view count, cancelled posts, etc)
What data?
All of the data you generate when using Reddit…posts, comments, view tracking, voting, subreddit subscriptions, etc.
You mean reddit’s data
I agree.

I never even heard of AWS before today. What is it?
Amazon web services. They are one of the biggest providers for hosting things. A lot of the internet infrastructure uses aws.
