Privacy drove me off reddit, I looked around for these answers but not sure where to come across them.
Am I sharing my IP address/ location with my host instance?
is there a log of my view history
are there general privacy concerns that I am not thinking of?
I do not want to be in a position where a Government creates an instance, and allows them to monitor.
Try thinking about it more in the terms that everything you do will be public. Don’t assume posts, comments, dms, etc will be private to you only. Some admins will for sure respect privacy better than others, but there could always be data breaches, etc.
I’m hoping there will be some sort of e2e encrypted messaging in the future for DMs, but I don’t think something similar makes since for posts and comments.
