I can’t even copy a url without being tracked. When I copy the urls, they get copied with tracking ids, i don’t know what they are doing with this data but I think they are creating a mesh table of people, their relatives friends etc. So, I am done, I will delete all the social media in a few weeks, use my phone only with federated apps.

    I only noticed this shit recently man after the Israel/Twitter stuff. I always run a link through claude now to clean it first before posting anywhere. Sounds paranoid but fuck it makes me feel much more comfortable about it.

    Does Lemmy track? I’m new here

      As far as I know, no. The platform is open source so anyone should be able to check. Plus each instance is run by different people since anyone could spin one up. Since there’s no advertising $$ as this isn’t corporate owned there’s not really a reason to track users either.
