I’ve just come from the reddit exodus and I’m looking around for some documentation or info on the privacy & security on infosec.pub and/or lemmy as a platform - how our logins are stored and whether data is accessible by developers / other parties.

Does anyone know where I can find more information on this? (Or if not could you shed some light)

This platform seems incredibly promising and I’m sick of reddit’s ways now, but i want to read up before I fully commit. Many thanks!

(Edit - sorry if this isn’t an appropriate place for this by the way, just seemed a sensible community to put it in!)

      It’s amusing to me that the first entry is “Don’t trust any server you don’t own” and then people dog pile on supportive remarks on servers that they don’t own. :-)

        To be fair, I don’t trust infosec.pub, reddit.com, or any of those servers. I just choose what I’m going to publish using them with that model in mind.

        I think the whole “ActivityPub makes it impossible to really delete things” is a whole nothingburger anyway. If you post something to a public website, like it or not, there’s no way to delete it with certainty. The internet never forgets.

          I try to make sure that I don’t need to trust them so I can enjoy them for what they are intended for public communication.

          Sure, ActivityPub makes is impossible to delete things, so does the Blockchain, or Usenet, or eyeballs that have processed something.

      From scrolling through that it seems to me like the only change is who people trust with their data, not how private it might be. Good consideration though.
