I'm always confused when people are surprised by something like an account sync meaning that the operators have to store your data
Makes me wonder if they understand how Lemmy works...
Yes, naturally to create an account for Sync, they have to store your data. But it's not the same if they also share these with third parties.
If third parties means AWS, then every website you've accessed this year shares your data with third parties. This is why the GDPR exists.
Depends. Every hostname accessed? Sure. Every full URL? Not with https being everywhere these days.
