It’s called doing a Homer

so… what is it? is it really safe to try?

not at all. it simplifies the learning experience by quite a bunch.

one of the more confusing is learning other gendered languages where the gender of some object is different to the one in your mother tongue

sorry, i was just too irritated by sunzu2’s comment, and - reading their other comments now - their general attitude on male mental health.

and no, i don’t have to hold a lid or say the words to feel the pain, thanks ;)

is suicide really the right topic to unfold politics?

how economic wealth is created (and what it actually is)

First if all: my Not Sure Fry was intended as a joke.

So, just to understand you correctly:

I can collect just about everything in the DB tables I’ve seen without being logged into the instance with some external work. Can you see which communities I follow? Which feeds I watch (and when I do that)? Who I interact with through DMs?

are you trying to get my point?

you are (still) missing my point - but i might be wrong as well (i am mot too familiar with ActivityPub).

my point is not that my public posts are in fact public and can be (and probably are) mined through unknown parties, but that instance owners have even more, probably more valuable info, like IP addresses from which not just geolocation but also wake times, device usage patterns and other gnarly stuff could be extracted, that could - together with other personalized surveillance info (like the usual adware stuff) - be aggregated to give a bigger picture.

just showing (as you did) that one can get some info about me through my (public) actions does not refute the point that instance owners have access to more, not-so-public information

you miss the point: instance owners have quite a lot more information on their user’s activities than what’s public.

or would you argue that reddit does not aggregate data because it’s all public?

one of the smarter folks of western civilisation history said “i know that i do kot know” so maybe asking yourself whether you are or are not smart is all it takes
