These and Instagram seem to be the main locii of conversation for a topic I’m interested in. Instagram is a no because Meta. Just trying to keep myself off of the big data mining sites and search results are a bit of a hot mess.

Edit: Please, no more splaining how there isn’t any privacy on the net. There’s what can be scraped, what can be gathered from cookies (which I’m as careful as I can be about), and there’s what we make it easy for corporations to collect by using their products. I’m asking about the latter for Discord and Tumblr. It’s not that I’m unaware of the general problem (otherwise I wouldn’t be asking), it’s just that I’m out of the loop on specifics for these sites.

    Those services have total surveillance. Total data retention. No expectation of privacy.

    To be fair Lemmy also has no expectation of privacy. It’s even worse because the platforms totally open, so anybody can mine your data here. They don’t even have to sign a contract with meta. But I think we all accept that trade off to have an open public square.
