Should we move to KBIN?

3 years ago by BKLronin to c/waveform

It seems everything is doomed these days: https://raddle.me/f/lobby/155371/warning-lemmy-doesn-t-care-about-your-privacy-everything-is

EDIT: Looks like lemmy is totally fine and we can feel like home without worrying too much.

This is the case with every hosted service. It isn’t a choice, it is just how data storage works. Things are always saved on someone else’s machine. Or, in the case of federated systems like KBIN or Lemmy, many people’s machines.

Your data is open and accessible to all. That’s the entire point of federation. Nobody owns it.

Iḿ kind of aware of that but didnt really think thorugh what happenes if I close down my server etc.

What about the rumours of the lemmy dev being a political problematic guy? Not sure what exactly.

Yeah that might be, but he's not on this instance. The only thing I'm concerned with is having a nice place here to us to be. KBIN or Lemmy isn't going to make a difference. The people on this instance provide the value, not the software.

Are you trustworthy ? :D

Yeah I just want to settle a little. Bit stressed with various software platform exoduses.

No, don't trust me ;)

Anything you post here is public anyway really... that's the thing with federation. It is automatically sent to a bunch of other servers, look: https://lemmy.ml/post/1274434

This will be more or less the same with Kbin and inherent with federation.

Not sure what they're addressing other than comment/post permanence. I don't totally see how that's a direct connection to privacy

As far as I understand it (I never fully read the ActivityPub spec, so I'm talking out of my ass here), it's impossible to completely delete data because some instances might choose to ignore the Delete request, keeping the data on it's internal records.
