YSK the Connect app is spyware - LemmyWorld
Ive been looking for a good Lemmy app and found Connect, which is nicely made and works well. Ive also been using the duckduckgo tracker protection feature this week and keeping an eye on things. Good Foss apps are clean as expected and some of the more commercial ones do shit like connect out when they aren’t even open. I need those for work etc though. The worst I’ve seen so far is 400 attempts over a day with one tracking company. This Connect app though attempted almost 1000 connections to 20 different tracking companies in 20 minutes. Absolutely stunning and it has gone straight in the bin [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/5e57116d-c557-4ebb-aa15-0377de7ca43b.jpeg]
