Reddit is a complete and utter shithole.

This. I've had a Lemmy account for a while but reddit suspended me yesterday for calling someone stupid - after they made disparaging remarks about someone else. Their account was untouched. I know because I saw posts dated after my suspension.

I don't know if Lemmy will work out or not, but Reddit has proven they're not fit to moderate any significant portion of the web's content and I can't be bothered to consume and contribute in that environment any longer. I submitted an account deletion request with an extra slice of my mind on the matter.

We've had one misdirection yes, but what about second furry China men?

No, I think they mean "friends" sharing accounts.

In the grand scheme of things, do I think this is an issue? No. But it's their service to decide what amount of sharing is appropriate. As long as there is no ceiling to the storage limit, people will abuse it. That's all I get out of this - they're tired of people abusing the generosity.

The truth is that leadership world wide only values privacy when it's their own. Everything else is a big f'n show. Information is the single most valuable commodity on the planet and knowing your potential "opponents" is priceless. Maintaining power over others necessitates invading the privacy of others in the minds of 99% of people.
