Currently on an enjoyable journey of de-googling, upping privacy, data sovereignty and so on.

Apps that do this just get it.

one more thing: its not actually irrelevant for privacy whether lemmy sends our public comments across google's push service. we are not anonymous, but we don't use real names either so it's partially private, but when google connects your notifications (or just the timestamp of them with comments here), they will be able to figure out what is your account. they can use that information for stalker marketing or give it to the authorities later on

You're right about it not being irrelevant but I was just talking the security of sent messages in Lemmy which can be read by everyone regardless
