Given the amount of radical leftists using Lemmy, what's the risk that certain intelligence agencies create nice apps for Lemmy and put them on the app store to gather data on leftists?

It would be fairly cheap to do so.

I was looking for apps earlier today and noticed there's a bunch of new android apps for Lemmy and this thought occurred to me.

There would be no need because if you use a proprietary operating system as nearly everyone does, they can and do just take the data directly from your device.
