[–] Kaldo@kbin.social 8 points 3 years ago (1 child) Everything you post online is public by default, stored, copied or archived by third parties without your knowledge. They don't need a huge instance to grab data from the fediverse if they want to do that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Bloonface@kbin.social 4 points 3 years ago God thank you, I swear some people fail to realise just how ActivityPub federation works! Post something on fedi and you lose effective control over it; for all intents and purposes, it's out there on hundreds of different servers who don't have to respect your deletion requests, and it's never coming back. And to be perfectly honest, I'm more comfortable with Meta archiving all my shitposts than, I dunno, all the nazis. permalink fedilink source parent
