If true that is a real deal breaker for me. The whole idea of Lemmy is to break away from exploitative data gathering from corporations. If they are data gathering to sell to third parties then what makes them any different than Reddit? 🫤
If I had to guess most of that info is just to feed you ads, but that is already bad enough for me.
I think we can all make our own conclusions.
I mean, don’t get me wrong, the app looks great. But I think the subscription model and the data gathering maybe isn’t the right approach in this instance, since we’re talking about a different culture in Lemmy. This is not Reddit.
I’d be happy with a simple, straight app purchase with no bs data mining, thank you very much.
Moreover, it looks like it’s gathering user info to third parties like messages, device or other IDs? Hmm 🤔

What makes you think it’s gathering that data?
