          Yeah I mean I was around for that. What you quoted is what I’m saying:

          They also log and monitor the IPs and the emails used to sign up on their instance

          None of that is unique to hexbear. Anyone visiting the URL in the OP will have their IP logged, there’s no way to tell if the traffic originates from someone clicking that link here*. And no way for them to link your IP with the fact that you’re a hexbear user unless you’re naive enough to sign up for a lemmy world account and post correlating info to a hexbear account.

          What is unique to hexbear (sort of, I’m sure they hate the grad too) is the vendetta they hold against us, so even though it’s probably a PITA to correlate these things you can be confident that they’re petty enough to do that.

          Fuck lemmy world and good on ya for posting a lemmy.ml link to the federated thread.

          * unless your browser’s adding headers to note what site you’re clicking that link on, which uh stop using chrome I guess shrug-outta-hecks
