Just FYI, your voting is fully public on Lemmy. DMs are “private” but could be intercepted at the server level of any instances involved (yours and the receiver/sender) and of course your geolocation info is visible to the server.
Not saying that is happening, and not trying to spread FUD, but be aware that your info isn’t necessarily private just because a corpo isn’t directly involved.
You are absolutely right, and I think people should be more aware of this.
Me too, maybe then assholes will stop whining about me of downvoting them when I didn't. As if it matters.
