Lemmy users will post on and on about online privacy but then think it's suspicious when a new account posts and then deletes his or her account in the name of privacy and to prevent profiling. (self.privacy)

Complete lack of imagination!

Just because someone use the internet in a different way than you does not mean they are a bot or a troll or a state actor with malicious intent.

If you enjoy other people profiling you by looking at your post history then you do you and let others post online too.

You can't be pro-privacy and then see someone be anti-post history profiling and then call them out for it. That person is actually more pro-privacy than you!

I think it's a common misconception that Lemmy is about privacy or free speech. It's more social media and there are other platforms to cater for anonymous conversations or spreading unpopular or illegal content. This platform isn't designed with that in mind...

If Lemmy isn't made with (improved) privacy or free speech in mind, what's it made for? What incentive do people have to switch to it?

When a site tries to become profitable it often becomes worse. I am on lemmy to have somewhere to go when that other site is no longer usable.
