I'm a silent follower of your sub, but I hope you guys are staying here for good even after the reddit drama. Or I guess handling 2 communities on different sites is more than a handful?

Haven't stopped using reddit, tbh. But my usage has noticeably dropped - haven't even commented on a single thing but one after installing Jerboa. Having an alternative really does help. I'm confident I can completely stop redditing on mobile by the end of the month as long as this community stays active.
I'm still amazed at how many people I know still think cars are better before because they were "harder to break." Yeah, you can sit on the hood of an old car and it won't do anything to it, but try crashing at 80km/h and you're gonna wish that unbreakable object broke. Anything higher and you might not have a chance to wish for anything. Lol.
Hi. I'm commenting here because I'm not sure this deserves its own post.
Lately on reddit, lemmy and kbin have been mentioned more as reddit alternatives. While that may be a good thing (free advertising is good, at least), I've seen more than a few people say (unevoqually, imho) that A) lemmy/kbin is bad for privacy and B) they collect data. I've read kbin's privacy policy as well as the devs' responses on github, but is there any other links I can point them to?
It's incredibly frustrating, tbh. It feels like they're out to discredit lemmy and kbin. I've answered a few myself, but there's much more out there. They don't even give a reason. They usually just say "lemmy is terrible for privacy" or "lemmy collects your data." No links, no whatever.
Edit: my last reddit account is going to seem like a lenny marketer if this doesn't stop lol.
