MODERATORS
Most Lemmy servers don't relentlessly track and sell everything you do though. Discord makes way more money off your data than it costs them to host.
Source that they make money off of uploaded files?
Didn't necessarily mean the files but the service as a whole
I agree, but the argument here is "why won't they let you upload more data if they make money off of it". My point is that it doesn't apply here, because uploaded files is not the data that can make them money.
