Privacy on Lemmy (sh.itjust.works)

I've been sent this article about privacy on Lemmy and I would like to have more opinions about it.

I come from the Matrix world where there is no history deletion neither but at least everything is encrypted.

Can we hope anything about privacy on Lemmy ?
Especially with all the attention it's getting right now.

They can; but remember you are posting public information on a public forum. The privacy features are all about what you type or don't type. Never type private information into a public forum.
