Please do this. Its really not an issue.
The solution is simply to use anonymous accounts and change them frequently. This should be more publicized as normal lemmmy data hygene
So 4chan but with extra steps...
Has Lemmy already jumped the shark.
Wut? The data is already public. Why only allow the bad guys to access it and not everyone?
Everything you do online will be used against you unless you do so anonymously. This isn't a Lemmy problem. Its only specific to Lemmy if we as a community dont inform each other of the risks and encourage safe data hygienic practices
A descriptive statement.
Why assume that's the only option? We can also strive to improve Lemmy, as it is (allegedly) run for the users and not for corporate anti-privacy interests.
Do you understand how federation works?
