Is Kbin private? and how private is compared to Lemmy?
I wanted give a try to kbin.social but not sure how private is the instance, the interface looks really nice but im worried about its privacy
and how private is compared with Lemmy?
What do you mean? Are private messages viewable by other users? Or other fediverse admins (that can also be everybody with a computer and a internet connection)
They are potentially viewable by admins since they're not encrypted end to end and are stored in the database. It's why there's a warning message when you try to send someone a DM.
Yeah as everyone else said, nothing in the Internet is truly private.
That said, I believe the fediverse is better for preventing use of your data because no one server/instance has all the data. This makes it harder to track and use your data across servers/instances.
