    Lemmy, and ActivityPub in general, is quite bad for privacy. To the point where I doubt it’d be legal for a company to host a server within the EU. Everything is handled by volunteers and amateurs. Privacy policies are bog standard or barely enforced. You have no idea what servers are using and selling your information, and any server can follow basically any community.

    The easier it is for someone to create a new account after getting kicked or banned, the more likely it is that other servers will block that server and leave you with a near useless Lemmy account.
