It’s almost doublethink, people celebrating how the Fediverse is an open protocol for sharing public discussion and then going surprised-Pikachu at the notion that public discussion might be viewed by someone the don’t want to view it.
If you don’t mean for something to be public, don’t post it on a public forum.
I remember when the FediPact people were saying various fediverse instances needed to defederate from Threads because Meta was going to use it to scrape comments…
My brother in Christ, you’re spewing your comments in a million directions with the ActivityPub protocol. They don’t even have to scrape, and defederating them won’t do shit.
Don’t get me started on this shit. The privacy people are well.
Oh I’m sure the person running this instance from his basement is going to handle my gdpr request better than Meta 🙄 definitely can’t pull down a hash table from the db with zero accountability
Yes it was. What crack are you on? From day 2, the second that shit was made public to college students it was HAMMERED into everyone’s head that shit would be public. The boomers on Fox News knew this shit was public.
You all realize this same shit is happening here right?
It’s a public forum 🤦♂️

No shit Sherlock!

What kind of gotchas did you think you were making?
Lololol I didn’t think everyone here had thought through this lololol. You are wildly optimistic.
Everyone screaming left and right about employeer and school admissions scanning the site.
They could at least be a bro and make this data easily searchable for me then. I hate always revisiting Reddit when looking for info on obscure shit.

And since this is the world we live in, most people proceed with that understanding.
This was not the case in 2007.
