I’ve been sent this article about privacy on Lemmy and I would like to have more opinions about it.

I come from the Matrix world where there is no history deletion neither but at least everything is encrypted.

Can we hope anything about privacy on Lemmy ?
Especially with all the attention it’s getting right now.

    Since Lemmy is free software, can someone just fork it and change it to be more privacy-focused?

      It can, but without E2EE nothing is private. You can be sure that stays encrypted and only the other person is able to read it.

      They can; but remember you are posting public information on a public forum. The privacy features are all about what you type or don’t type. Never type private information into a public forum.
