Given the amount of radical leftists using Lemmy, what's the risk that certain intelligence agencies create nice apps for Lemmy and put them on the app store to gather data on leftists?

It would be fairly cheap to do so.

I was looking for apps earlier today and noticed there's a bunch of new android apps for Lemmy and this thought occurred to me.

Anyone in the alphabet boys could keep tabs on you without the app so I don't see our precious tax dollars going there. I'm also sure some of our opsec nerds would be the first to scream about packets being sent places they shouldn't be. :P
