I know everything you do and say is public and i don’t care .

What i am talking avout is the metadata like logs and ip and also passwds in case of an instance getting hacked do the hackers get these things . Like the user 123’s ip is this and passwds are this .

Like are they protected or encrypted so the hackers can’t use them ? Also what is stoping the instance owners from abusing or selling these behind our back ? or running a modded version of lemmy are they detectable ?

    Your instance admins know basically everything. They won’t know the password you use since the software shouldn’t be storing that in plaintext. But your activity is pretty clear to them. They can see how you upvote, what you subscribe to, and probably also the IP you connect from.

      So if the instance go down will it be encrypted automatically or something ? Or will the hackers have a field day because big instances like .world are now not allowing tor or vpn (for reasons that i can understand).
