New to fediverse. Joined mostly because reddit has been annoying me for a while for it's algorithm use and general admin stuff. Joining piefed was still a big leap since I have some interest in privacy and security on the internet and joining anonymous server felt a bit suss. Some stranger somewhere would have my email and be able to monitor everything I do and say.

Now, of course reddit does the same and I had no problem (well a little problem) with it. They not only have the data, but they also use it to advertise to me and most definitely sell the data forward. Still, there is a difference on a company with a public leadership whose names are known, and who have to follow laws and mark down their privacy notice publicly. If a server admin gets funny with the data, I'm shit out of luck.

Well I joined so obviously I accepted the trade of but came here to see what others thought. Surprised there was not a discussion about this already.

Hi. I'm new, obviously, don't know if this is wrong place but anyway. On joining, I was asked my likes, I assumed I would be recommended communities to follow. Instead I was auto-joined to what feels like hundreds of communities. It will take me ages to go to a community one at the time to unsubscribe. Any way to mass delete?

As an aside if devs are here, horrible design to autojoin people. Might be of course a feature of the server I joined but if the piefed software pushes for this, just horrible. At least should be a page showing all the communities you would join and ability to toggle them there or remove all.
