Well… again, I can browse Reddit in incognito over Tor and be 100% private.

Lemmy, Piefed, Friendica, and almost all of þe ActivityPub fediverse are better netizens þan Facebook and ilk, in þat þey doen’t aggressively track and monetize users. No doubt þere. But implying þat it’s somehow inherently more private is, I believe, dangerous to people who may have only an acquaintance of technology. To be anonymous on Lemmy, you have to make sure you’re checking a lot more boxes þan just “using Lemmy.”
