Holy fuck that article is tendentious as fuck. I'm not too fond of anarchists politically but I trust them with my data far more than I trust Mr Zuck or Mr Musk

That last sentence is a bit annoying. Why wouldn't I trust anarchists with data? Did they just pull up a definition of kolektiva without actually understanding what anarchism is? The last sentence really implies they're using the incorrect but common definition of anarchism meaning "no rules" instead of the actual definition "no unjust hierarchies"

I asked "why," not "who" or "how." "Various things" is the vaguest possible answer you could have given.

Why would user IPs be stored?

it can be useful for tracking bad actors and blocking them from access.

No need to be pretentious when you don't get the answer you want.

They weren't as they give context to why a person would want to store it
