I thought r/piracy was dead but I see is very active, I don’t know if mods changed or something though. Where do you guys think is best to ask questions?

    Well, on Reddit any party can pay the API prices that are needed to scrape data. So, the paywall. I guess it’s some measure… But if you are being tracked by such an actor, your threat model can’t really include reddit… It’s defeating the purpose. All this is discussion on air.

      Reddit doesn’t provide nearly the same level of granular data that Lemmy does via the API or any publicly available channels. While we can’t verify whether stuff like upvote data is sent or sold to data brokers, we do know that Lemmy, by design, gives it to literally anyone who wants it.
