    You may not like this: fediverse. Yes the site you’re on right now.

    Completely public forum scrapeable by api that exposes non-scrapeable, private information to the administrators of federated servers of which there are thousands.

    Even if you reject the idea that one of the thousands of “single user” servers is actually just quietly recording everything as a matter of mission, do you reject the idea that one of them hasnt been compromised? That an admin on one of the bigger ones hasn’t?

    Treat this site and any others that aren’t completely behind auth as social media.
