Unless, you know, they sniff it during registration or login. Or modify the lemmy server to store them unhashed. You are absolutely trusting the server owners not to do any of that, and if you use a password you’ve used elsewhere you need to change it everywhere.
I assume you’re okay with it and are just arguing for the sake of others since it very clearly states in your TOS that you don’t own the content posted here https://slrpnk.net/legal

I don’t open source because the open source idea values mainly practical advantage and does not campaign for principles.
When we call software “free,” we mean that it respects the users’ essential freedoms: the freedom to run it, to study and change it, and to redistribute copies with or without changes. This is a matter of freedom, not price, so think of “free speech,” not “free beer.”
These freedoms are vitally important. They are essential, not just for the individual users’ sake, but for society as a whole because they promote social solidarity—that is, sharing and cooperation. They become even more important as our culture and life activities are increasingly digitized. In a world of digital sounds, images, and words, free software becomes increasingly essential for freedom in general.
Tens of millions of people around the world now use free software; the public schools of some regions of India and Spain now teach all students to use the free GNU/Linux operating system. Most of these users, however, have never heard of the ethical reasons for which we developed this system and built the free software community, because nowadays this system and community are more often spoken of as “open source,” attributing them to a different philosophy in which these freedoms are hardly mentioned.
Some of the supporters of open source considered the term a “marketing campaign for free software,” which would appeal to business executives by highlighting the software’s practical benefits, while not raising issues of right and wrong that they might not like to hear. Other supporters flatly rejected the free software movement’s ethical and social values. Whichever their views, when campaigning for open source, they neither cited nor advocated those values. The term “open source” quickly became associated with ideas and arguments based only on practical values, such as making or having powerful, reliable software. Most of the supporters of open source have come to it since then, and they make the same association. Most discussion of “open source” pays no attention to right and wrong, only to popularity and success; here’s a typical example. A minority of supporters of open source do nowadays say freedom is part of the issue, but they are not very visible among the many that don’t.
The two now describe almost the same category of software, but they stand for views based on fundamentally different values. For the free software movement, free software is an ethical imperative, essential respect for the users’ freedom. By contrast, the philosophy of open source considers issues in terms of how to make software “better”—in a practical sense only. It says that nonfree software is an inferior solution to the practical problem at hand.

Yeah it’s a bit of a chore… but a fun chore! When you’re in the mood…
Honorable mention to Gone Home. I randomly picked a game from my brother’s library and had no idea it would be a start for a new era of gaming for me.
Among others mentioned Tomb Raider (2013) is among my favorites. I know it’s objectively far from the best game in any way, but I’ll never forget my first 100% of the game. I spent the last hour of that playthrough trying to finish the last collectible quest. I had to shoot mines on and around the beach. After running around crazy not being able to find that last mine I gave in and looked up a walkthrough to see where it could be. Sure enough it was not there for me. Turns out, it can get glitched out and spawn in a different place, which I was able to find. Problem was, the hitbox didn’t like the new placement, so shooting at it did absolutely nothing. After half an hour of running around, aiming at it from every angle I could, i finally saw the crosshair turn red for a moment. The mine was gone soon enough.
In a similar boat is Beyond Two Souls, a very hit or miss game, I admit. I was finally able to play it when it came out on PC. I didn’t even realize how much it had grown on me when, and since I had first watched a playthrough of it. I played through it in one sleepless night. Then again, though a bit more spread out, after the Steam release. And now it’s out on GOG, so guess what I’m going to be doing this weekend.
I played it long after it had come out. I purposely avoided learning anything more about it than I already had. I knew I would play it at some point. I knew what I was getting myself into. But I could never have prepared to fall in love the very second the main menu theme started playing. And that was only a setup for the rest of the game.
