I don't want to sound like a "aluminum foil hat" guy but I'm concerned about CCTV cameras (private and public) around our towns.

All of these cameras do not send the stream to private servers (as the closed circuit would imply) but it's sent to the manufacturers' servers, usually in countries unfriendly to privacy regulations, let alone to human rights. I don't think I'm in immediate danger, but I personally think they likely flow into some AI models and into some government-controlled hands in order to do whatever they want with it.

Another risk is the fact they're very insecure.

I don't know how to battle this. I try not to look directly into a camera when I see one, but that's it. I wish more people would be aware of such risks.

Why do some subreddits are labeled "Shown via [my instance]", whereas other do not? What is the difference if something is seen "via" my instance?

Can I also kindly ask why I am able to see banned subreddits when they're now shown via my instance?

I'm asking because I've never seen this on Mastodon

Sorry, maybe this question has already been asked (but can't find it), what are some good Lemmy open source clients for Android? All the ones I'm trying are really buggy and glitchy.
