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.

There are security issues that currently exist in lemmy that are more worrying than honeypot apps, such as this.

Ooff... That's a bit worrying.
