One of the things that annoyed the shit out of me when I was on Reddit is when users would sift through the post/comment history of your account to use as ammunition in an argument they are having with you now. Is there a way to block or limit access to my account history?
I don’t know of any document that explains “how Lemmy works”. From the official website and the Github page all it says is it’s a link aggregator and discussion platform that’s self hosted. Each instance can moderate itself and impose their own rules. Nowhere does it state that all profiles have to be public. The official site also states that there is no advertising, tracking, or secret algorithms. All I ask for is privacy and I think that would align with what I’ve found on Lemmy’s official stance.
I agree, but thats not how Lemmy was programmed. I feel like Lemmy has other privacy issues, but its better than the alternative of Reddit.
