Does anyone have a eli5 explanation/read/video of being federated? When I joined lemmy i thought it was lemmy exclusive thing, but now it seems being federated is a copy of your data shared among servers that multiple communities/applications use including outside entities, such as lemmy communicating w/ mastodon? Or am I way off? Any explanation would be greatly appreciated help me get up to speed.
Well thats worrying for everyone federated with them.
oh no! they have all the posts that people publicly posted onto the Internet!
Is it? As far as I know, identifying data such as IP addresses are not transmitted between instances.
Why?
If you DM’d nudes to a Kolektiva user, the FBI now has it
That’s why you get a big warning message informing you that DM’s are not encrypted and thus not secure.
