      Lemmy is a message board, not social media. Like fark or something awful. You have no idea who the duck i am. How is that social?

          No it isn’t.

          When you download the app you let them have the following information/data about you:

          Purchases, location, contacts, search history, identifiers (!!), diagnostics, financial info, contact info, user content, browsing history, and usage data.

          Please tell us how any of that is “anonymous”.

            Cool dude, you’ve identified that big corporations data farm.

            Random bloke user with a vendetta still doesn’t know who I am, and that’s who I’m more worried about on the personal scale.

            Undoubtedly, especially since I haven’t taken particular steps to obfuscate my identity here.

            But as I said in a comment below, I’m more worried about some unhinged nutbag online randomly targeting me than being a person of interest by any nefarious groups or organizations.
