The Reddit search for Lemmy also gives these privacy copy-pasta as top results when searching for Lemmy. I'm still betting that Reddit employees are involved in boosting these posts.
I wouldn't call 1000 upvotes massive. That's miniscule on Reddit. I've received 6 times that much on single sentence comments before. If you post something at the right time it's basically guaranteed to get thousands of upvotes. People there will upvote anything.
I can't edit my reply for some reason, but it's hilarious that they're trying to make a case for privacy, as if Reddit has ever done anything besides aggregate your data and sell it to the highest bidder.
Boys, not people.
