Due to the nature of such an open policy in sharing information (how open federation actually functions) could be frightening for someone uneducated on what privacy totally means, I have created this optional privacy policy introduction that will prime the user for what they are engaging in.
Personally I think everyone should be walking around with no pants, but I’d rather we talk each other’s pants off than scare off, or find our pants removed by surprise.

I have an optional introduction statement I am going to add which might temper it a bit. People are blissfully unaware of how bad current closed platforms are for privacy, the data sharing between them, and what that means for them and society.
Despite some of the open and entirely public aspects of federated services, with some education it is far more private; you are not tracked right from the gateway through all your online (and offline) travels. How you carry yourself during those travels is what gives you control of your privacy.
I have had this concern for a few days and adapted the Mastodon privacy policy (adapted from the Discourse policy) and published it https://github.com/BanzooIO/federated_policies_and_tos/blob/main/lemmy-privacy-policy.md
Discussion on this has been started: https://lemmy.ml/post/1431759 and https://lemmy.ml/post/1431930. Open to any recommendations
