My first post here. I'm so sick of reddit and hoping this takes off. (I recently discovered gab but it's not the same concept, exactly).

What data is cross-stored? Specifically, IP address, email address - anything else that might identify a user?

edit: not casting aspersions on notabug.io - I don't know anything about them (yet).

Only data that is already publicly available is cross stored. Usernames, posts, comments, votes. That's it, no server-side information is shared. So no worries about privacy. But that is a good concern and I appreciate you bringing it up.

notabug I think doesn't like to store much data ... that's what they say at least. the source code is available but I haven't looked at it myself to verify that.

I don't think they store IP or email. Just usernames. You can see the saidit data on notabug at https://notabug.io/t/saidit.all

I'm not sure what happens when a comment is edited or deleted on saidit, or if an account is deleted on saidit. the content may still remain unedited in the notabug copy.
