Who’s enforcing whom to comply with what now?

Not a likely scenario but still possible. If one is serious about not getting “doxxed at any cost,” consider Mullvad browser.

1. Don’t give your email address, or use a throwaway one when you join.
2. Pick a username that’s unrelated to any others you’ve used.
3. Use a VPN.
4. Don’t reveal personal details in posts & comments.

I guess you didn’t get satisfactory answers from your first post, but you still haven’t clarified what you actually mean by your question. All Lemmy servers run Lemmy, so in some senses of the term, they’re all roughly equally private, which is to say not very, because all posts & comments are publicly scrapable, except for private messages.

What is Lemmy.ml

Copypastaing myself:

Mozilla has been going the wrong way for a long time now, as documented by jwz, who was the instigator for the formation of Mozilla 27 years ago.

• 2013-10-02 W3C green-lights adding DRM to the Web’s standards
• 2020-09-23 This is a pretty dire assessment of Mozilla
• 2022-01-06 Mozilla blinked
• 2023-12-29 Remember when Mozilla made a web browser?
• 2024-01-05 My dinosaur just threw up in its mouth a little
• 2024-06-20 Mozilla is an advertising company now
• 2024-06-22 Mozilla’s Original Sin
• 2024-10-03 Mozilla’s CEO doubles down on them being an advertising company now

Depending on your threat model, not very important. What are the chances that 1) someone will have hacked Mullvad’s server and installed a compromised version of the browser, and 2) you happen to download the compromised version before the hack is discovered and mitigated?

This for-profit company saying that I am not the product doesn’t necessarily make it so, and it doesn’t explain what is the product or service being sold and to whom. And just as their Firefox counterpart changed their terms yesterday, they could change theirs tomorrow.

Mozilla hasn’t been moving in promising directions lately. Mozilla’s CEO doubles down on them being an advertising company now

This doesn’t bode well at all: https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/about/

Thunderbird operates in a separate, for-profit subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation.

A free mail client from a for-profit company? What’s the revenue model? Sounds like I must the product somehow.

The Thunderbird for-profit entity, MZLA Technologies Corporation, is distinct from the Firefox for-profit entity, Mozilla Corporation, and both are wholly owned by the non-profit entity, Mozilla Foundation.

That’s not sus, that’s what anyone ought to expect him to do, because it aligns with his bourgeois interests. Why would he stay on a non-corporate, federated social media platform when he and his bourgeois peers can’t control the narrative?

Last I heard it was also suspect: Ventoy source code contains some unknown BLOBs, still no word on the issue from the dev after months

I heard that they accept DNA samples now, too.

He says he wants free speech, but all he ever wanted was to replace the previous censorship and propaganda regime with his own.

For years and until very recently, every MacOS & iOS update would silently turn Wi-Fi and Bluetooth back on 😡

I haven’t seen a Bitly link in dog’s years and assumed it had died.

I suppose so, but I don’t see poisoning the LLM dataset in this way as a privacy thing, per se. It sounds more like performance art at best and futile pissing in the sea at worst.

All good 👍 and the EFF link you posted is a good jumping off point as well.

I didn’t say the EFF isn’t also knowledgeable, nor that we are more knowledgeable than them in all areas.

But we also didn’t just pull things out of our asses 3 seconds ago.

lemm.ml is “a community of privacy […] enthusiasts, run by Lemmy’s developers,” and, after over a century of US state propaganda, repressions, purges, and assassinations upon us, communists might know a thing or two about militancy against US state power, including protests.

Protests that upset the US federal government are serious business. Garden-variety privacy won’t do.
