people here seem to be mixing “track” and “collect” here. Of course they collect data, otherwise the site wouldn’t function. But they don’t track you as in process your data.

It shouldn’t be too hard for any instance admin to write a script to compile any user’s 5 most liked, disliked, controversial posts, and 5 biggest upvoters/downvoters.

Yeah, this is just plain wrong and lazy. Of course they collect that data, so at least they could make some cool analyses.

I wouldn’t mind such a feature if it were on-demand, with the option to delete, and limit its visibility. I think it’d be a nice addition to Lemmy so long as it’s user-focused.
