      So what product are we on Lemmy exactly?

      Believe it or not, people can do things for free without being driven by capitalism.

          But we’re not sold as a product by the instances hosts.

          The point is people can offer things without ulterior motives.

        Imagine believing that nobody is selling your data on here.

        It’s amazing to me people believe this place has any privacy whatsoever.

          No.

          I believe the hosts aren’t running this place to sell our data. A 3rd party might be scrapping the data, but that is irrelevant.

              Anyone can get my data, it’s an open system where my data is sent to every single Fediverse server that is listening. That is irrelevant.

              The point is that people (instance hosts, FOSS developers, etc) can create things for people to use for free without the user being a product.

              Altruism exists, not everything is corporate greed where I am a product to generate revenue for the people offering it.
