I use lemmy not because of privacy since public forums aren’t private, but to move away from corporate social spaces profiting off their user base. And also getting back third party apps.
Lemmy feels more like old school Internet of people discussing and talking because they want to as opposed to the whole spaces end goal being to figure out how to IPO.
This is exactly my reason for using it. I love the third-party apps, and I love that it’s not owned by some corporation. Another thing I like is the resilience. Your particular instance may be down, or if cloud flare is down, several instances could be down, but the entire network is not going to be down.
