minus-squareDeceptichum@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up0·9 months agoNo. 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.
minus-squareLemmyIsFantastic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·9 months agoWhy would you believe that? Outside of lemmy.world which has semi-corporate backing can you verify who has your data?

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