  • Hey, do you know what kind of browsing behavior is tracked and if it’s in Lemmy source code itself? If so I would wonder why it is there and/or what it is used for. Is the user behavior scrapable by third parties without necessarily any contracts in place? I thought I heard Twitter’s data was regularly scrapped for instance, but not sure if that was more restricted to verifying a Twitter account to use other website services like the popular Google login for other sites. I imagine the right 3rd party could scrape data from any website, maybe the question is how effectively.

    As far as the backups go, would private messages be hidden from an admin as long as the password is not known? If so, what kind of protections are there, assuming there’s not a high level of protection there, or is there some level of encryption that protects those messages preventing display without the password known? Unlike browsing behavior?

    And am I understanding correctly that the server admin doesn’t have access to each individuals password unless it was cracked?
