@randahl it’s not a rip-off really…it’s what ActivityPub was made for 🤷‍♂️

@randahl one should assume that everyone has all data on mastedon. Nothing has changed with that. With meta integrating to activitypub, they’d be able to capitalize on that by showing ads to you.

@Fluzbug without knowing all details of Mastodon's architecture, I do think it is harder to introduce mass surveillance in a distributed system.

@randahl agree to disagree. You mean well and we’re ultimately in the same side, but never treat anything here as anything close to private.

@randahl surprisingly the majority of people actually want this because they've been conditioned to not care enough about those things.
