What exactly are you worried about? The instance logging your IP, device info? I’m not sure I really see a large privacy or security risk if you’re logging in from a VPN and if you’re using a unique password. And what do you mean by some of the application processes being invasive?
I feel like accessing your Lemmy is pretty much like accessing any other website, but your instance really doesn’t know much about you in comparison to others. I don’t know much about deep privacy and security risks though.
You’re not alone. Nuance is just harder to convey, takes more effort to post something nuanced. And so people do it less, myself included. But I think truthfully that many people are not so stuck in one or the other circlejerks. It’s lovely to see people in this thread who are annoyed by both.
