Sorry, I think I got confused between you and another comment. The 2 instances I was referring to where lemmy.world and lemmy.ml (as Lemmy devs didn't want lemmy.ml to be the flagship instance).
Yeah but lemmy.world is at least low-key backed by an EU company who seems to actually have the capacity to deal with privacy issues. The rest of the servers that I've seen really are mostly just individuals or very small teams which I have zero faith in even being good actors. I'm open to suggestions though.
I'm in the minority here but I legitimately would rather have my data in an instance where they have corporate backing (even if it's still tied to volunteerism).
Nah more concerned with small instances grabbing information and doxing folks. That type of crap. This account not so much, my porn account maybe lol...

Oh wait, I just looked back at it and it doesn't say the part about being a Canadian run Instance anymore, I could've sworn it said that last I checked.
Also their server IP is Finland, though since Lemmy instances are on VPS servers I guess that isn't indicative, since they can end up being anywhere in the world.
