Re: "Push notification spying"
This is why privacy focused apps like Signal or Proton while using the centralized push system, they will send the minimal amount of data required. The only usefull information is you got a notification from this app.
The app itself then check and display the message. I would also recommend to anyone serious about privacy to just disable sensitive data in notification. This not only reduce further the amount of data collected but also improve your digitial well-being.

I think it is reasonable to assume that several primary parties are collecting your data at all times, and secondary parties intercept or raid the collected data at least occasionally.

There are a couple of apps that use their own systems, such as Signal and Proton Mail, and you can use OpenPush if you have an Android.
There's also a Lemmy client, Arctic, on iOS that uses its own push servers, but it's proprietary.

@hellfire interesting. it seems openpush isn't being developed anymore.
