Honestly! I don’t think a lot of people care about privacy.

Honestly if you're using Lemmy all this information is already publicly accessible, any public forum isnt privacy friendly

I’m not talking about the public stuff, because that’s not where the money is for Meta. Here is the stuff the Thread app collects

Now juxtapose that with what the Lemmy app collects.

What's surprising to me is that the android version of threads has no such requirements. It asks for contacts, camera, location, photos, notification, and mic permissions, and you don't need to enable them to use the app
