It's as private as you make it. It does not have integrated tracking and/or ad trafficking.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 months ago

Yeah, Lemmy doesn't block you from accessing it via a VPN, for one.

Couldn't it? If an Instance owner so chose?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Of course it COULD but someone has to modify the code. Boost for Lemmy also shows google ads...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Not a code change at all, just a filtering of the traffic from particular ip's and forwarding it to a different page which is all that reddit is doing as well.

How can you implement Google AdSense banners like that????

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I wasn't talking about good AdSense in this case, just the page you are redirected to if you are coming from one of their marked VPN IP addresses. Unless this has changed since the last time I attempted to go to Reddit with a VPN on. But that's the behavior I've witnessed.

This discussion was about Lemmy and that you could easily implement ads by changing the code, you say you don't need a code change ? What's your point?
