What? Where are you seeing that? It didn’t have a thumbnail at all from my side of the wire. Is that a kbin feature? Now I’m wondering if I need to scrub my instance of all images.

I’m not sure I have an opinion, honestly. They’re the largest instance at least from the perspective of communities followed from federate.cc, we have more people subscribed to stuff @lemmy.world than anywhere else. I can tell they’re having technical issues due to the scale of the instance, given the frequent downtime and slow responsiveness of the website. I think this is more Lemmy’s fault than theirs.

But I too don’t know much about its governance or policies. We’ve yet to have any issue with one of our members misbehaving, so I haven’t run up against the administration of any other instance.

Instance operator here! I self-host a small Lemmy instance for developers and tech savvy folks.

The short version is that it totally depends on your home instance, so it’s too general to reason about, really. Lemmy itself doesn't keep track of your IP, but there are move moving parts than that, like the reverse proxy, potentially CDN/object store, potentially web server…. etc. That’s all up to the instance, and the admins are capable of tweaking that stuff to log or not as they see fit.

It’s worth noting that some jurisdictions legally require server operators to keep this data.

So TLDR - if you trust your instance administrators, and the country and state/province they host it in, then maybe not. Otherwise, assume you are not anonymous on Lemmy.

Fair, although I personally use Safari on macOS/iOS and Firefox on Windows/Linux. If you’re interested, it’s fairly easy to sync between them with https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/icloud-bookmarks/.

Because Safari is chock fill of strong privacy features, just like Firefox. It’s a very good browser, if you’re using Apple devices, especially with the forthcoming OS updates.

Apple may be a greedy corporation, however, as they make their money selling you expensive hardware and a premium experience, they are not incentivised to monetise user data.

Google has the opposite incentive given they make money at all from Chrome or Android, other than advertising. Arguably they barely make any money at all, other than advising… so of course they’ll track you.

They shovel out SO many of these god damn superhero movies that nobody can even keep up. It’s been overwhelming the past few years. One imagines the public is starting to get Marvel/DC fatigue.

Ridiculous. Time to switch to Safari or Firefox, folks.

If you needed a nudge to ditch Chrome and its derivatives in favour of Firefox or Safari, this is it.

Whoa there, of course this is Brazil’s fault! Their plane couldn’t even withstand a few anti-aircraft missiles. How can Russia be blamed for that? /s

I think due to the custom designs involved in making it modular / repairable, combined with the niche appeal, it’s expected that these devices will be produced in low volumes and therefore will always cost more than the equivalent Pixel, due to missing out on economies of scale.

32m, American - No I can’t, as except for a short stint on a leased automatic gas car, I’ve owned only electric cars. And EVs are by definition automatic!

Anyone know if this work is tracked anywhere? I’m suddenly really suspicious of continuing to run my own instance.
