Can someone explain me what actually is going on about the politics drama and public perception of lemmy? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

a friend recommended me raddle and I wondered if it was a part of the fediverse aswell but instead while scrolling on my browser I found this: https://raddle.me/f/lobby/155371/warning-lemmy-doesn-t-care-about-your-privacy-everything-is and I wonder what others here think about it

First off, there is nothing stopping anyone from making a bot that scrapes off raddle and posts it elsewhere. When you post publicly, its just that, public. In fact, there are likely already bots doing it.

Second, not using Lemmy because of the developers is certainly their choice, but its also like saying you refuse to use email because people you don't like use it. Just be selective of the instance you join. And if you are that worried about something sneaky, the source code is even open source.

Exactly. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge privacy advocate... But the expectation of privacy that they have is completely unreasonable. "Nothing ever gets deleted from the internet" is an adage for a reason. If you're concerned about people on this internet seeing something, don't post it! Having the expectation that you'll be able to "take back" anything you post is naive and unreasonable.
