If the admin are in cahoots with the crypto mining douchebag, then no part of the site is safe.

I mean a lot of the content posted on reddit wasn’t actually made by the posters to begin with. Everybody’s just sharing memes they found on other platforms.

The first decade of Reddit’s life it was just pulling content from 4chan and Digg. I would not be surprised to see the fediverse operate similarly.

Registering to all instances with the same username/password is just asking for trouble. They’re not all equal and some of them will get hacked somehow.

You have evidence this is happening on Spotify’s Discover Weekly playlist?

How safe is it to log in to a lemmy instance through this? Seems like it could easily be used for phishing.

Can’t. I’m addicted to the algorithms. Music discovery guided by AI is too much fun. If I was only using streaming services to listen to music I already know or the new albums from artists I already like them I’d be with you, but now I’m hooked on finding new stuff.
