I think people who are worried about Meta coming into Fedi and stealing all your data are seriously out of touch or just don't understand how the Fediverse works.

So, I'll spell it out.

Your data on Mastodon or wherever is public by default. Anyone, Meta, Google, Me, ANYONE can come in and take that data. That is the definition of *public*.

The only way that's different is if you've locked down your account. Which is something you have to do on your own.

@thelinuxcast did you know your Mastodon instance has a code or conduct against any sort of advocacy content? Even this post would technically be in violation. Really makes me wonder why people are still on fosstodon.

@cooopsspace I'm beginning to think that reading is not so much a skill you possess. Goodness, gracious.

My toot was not advocating for anything. Again, I would request that you read it before getting up on your high horse.

All I said was that your data on the Fediverse is not private unless you set it to be so. So having your reason for disliking Meta in the Fedi be them stealing data is asinine.

I gave no opinion on whether or not I think Meta in the fediverse is good or bad.
