I appreciate the detailed response, especially the idea of having separate accounts for separate interests (even if I most likely won't actually do that). At some point, the number of measures one takes in the name of their online privacy becomes too much. I think that, for now -- as someone who had a single Reddit account which had an extensive public history through several communities at the time [I didn't know any better back then] -- it's enough to just switch from these profit-driven fascist-feeding corporations to platforms like lemmy.

Maybe in the future I'll have another phase where I take it one step further, I don't know, but I don't want to make my using the internet become a nightmare.

It's a realistic appraisal of Lemmy vs Reddit you've provided, I feel.
