    Lemmy isnt’t meant to be private, it’s a public forum. One should fully expect everything one posts to be seen by anyone. Assume Meta is using all your Lemmy posts to try and build a profile on you - be careful how much personal info you post.

      Also periodically delete your account and start a new one with a new name. Harder to build a profile on you if the data is spread between unrelated accounts that don’t reference each other.

      Or has AI made this untenable?

        Depends what your trying to hide and from who. Someone trying to stay anonymous from creepy dudes is fine (ops sec best practices should be used if one wants to stay anonymous). If someone with resources (say some agency) wants to figure out who you are, they can de-anonymized instantly due to all the tracking that’s out there, plus any subpoena power they might have, it’s a wrap. “AI” doesn’t even need to come into play (not that I even know what you mean by AI)

          Is that it then? The best privacy we can expect to have is to never be looked upon by Sauron’s Eye?

          There must be atleast one community out there who specialises in privacy that even the acronym boys can’t see.
