A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Can't they aggregate and sell your Lemmy activity data without federating with your sever? It's all in the public Internet.
I guess it won't be that useful if they have no way of tracking you. But, I don't think federation makes it easier to track users. Do sever admins get ip addresses of every user on a server they federate with?
