Is “everything you do” including everything you look at and all of the telemetry? I assume that’s client dependent. And would be surprised if any Lemmy clients are doing that kind of thing. Everything you post being public is one thing. But I’ve always found the behavioral telemetry more offensive.
It's all visible to your instance administrator. If you're on an instance of only a few people then anyone can see what that instance subscribes to.
Your upvotes and downvoats are also public
I still think I’m pretty ok with that. In comparison to trying to correlate how long I look at something and my scrolling patterns and build this into a larger profile with finger printing and ip’s.
