I wanted give a try to kbin.social but not sure how private is the instance, the interface looks really nice but im worried about its privacy and how private is compared with Lemmy?

    There is also currently no advertising incentive for tracking user data, since there are no ads. Ublock Origin extension blocks 0 things here, which is a marvel on the internet.

    I think it’d be possible in future for corporations to make their own federated instances, and those might have ads and/or more tracking? I’m no expert though.

    I think there are trade-offs, but overall I feel good about it compared to all the corporate social media sites that we know are tracking and selling data, refusing to delete data, etc.

      Regarding corporate instances; sure it would be possible for corporate interests to carve out their own federated space, but as is inherent within the fediverse, one can simply avoid those instances.
