But it is an open source project and the developers views are strongly in favor of privacy, so yeah you can self host it or check the source code. But I think it’s safe to assume they didn’t program it like that.
Note that people who host an instance can theoretically change it, but still I wouldn’t worry it’ll actually happen.
Rule #1 in internet privacy: don’t assume best intentions of anyone. Just because it is open source does not mean whoever hosts the instance didn’t modify the source.
Instance admins are pulling the code down and implementing it in their server. They could easily slip in some malicious backend code and there would be no way to verify it.
But you never know (unless you run your own instance) if your instance has been modified to record it somewhere before it is removed.
