      Most Lemmy servers don’t relentlessly track and sell everything you do though. Discord makes way more money off your data than it costs them to host.

            I agree, but the argument here is “why won’t they let you upload more data if they make money off of it”. My point is that it doesn’t apply here, because uploaded files is not the data that can make them money.

        Lemmy servers are radical open, everything short of your IP address is accessible over the activitypub protocol.

        They’re not selling it, it’s free.

        Is there finally a source that says Discord is selling your data?

          Discord is one of the worst company in term of privacy, they sell all of your datas, messages… First to make profit and then send it to the Chinese government. Thx to offer to me 10MB 😁

              They want people datas as much as US wants them to do mass surveillance. Surveillance is power and all govs wants power

                  You should know that in this world most of the governments want to extand their “power” (in fact it’s the good world), by knowing all the stuffs that are happening in the world they gain some superior knowledge. Why do states are willing to do mass surveillance, to use security cameras, etc… It’s not to have more “citizens” but to gain more power
