And you don't see a problem where the default is that tracking behavior? I shouldn't have to hunt through settings meticulously just to maintain some semblance of privacy.
Hey buddy, instances can already track you anyway. The voyager link is better for voyager users sharing things to eachother because it opens in the recipient's preferred instance in their voyager app instead of being taken to the web UI of some random instance you don't even have an account on. You don't have to use it if you don't want it.
TBH while I'm a fan of the app, @begrudgedcarfolk@sh.itjust.works has a point that it's annoying when full privacy requires pouring through every setting you don't even know exists. I'd love for apps to be fully private by default. I don't prefer to blindly trust passing data through third-parties. In this case though, you can see the link that will be shared before you do so, so I don't feel the Voyager dev(s) are doing anything too shady.
