People still seem to think that Meta are able to get some kinda private info from federation that other instances can't get.

Idk how on earth they'd do that, that would be wild.

Thankfully, it's not possible. Everything they can get from me is already publicly posted on my profile for the world to see. I'm not hiding.

@BeAware I don't think it's about any sort of "private information" ... it's about a fucking commercial service profitting from content generated by me.

It's about the basic Embrace, Extend and Extiguish strategy we all can safely assume to be the reason behind "adopting activitypub" by such companies in the first place....

@hackbyte Well, this specific post was inspired by a reply to a post I had made.

The reply was claiming that they would be taking my info, which I am okay with for the sake of communication with people there.

Just my choice.

They linked me to the threads privacy policy which does not apply to me cause they can't track me through AP, which is what was implied.‍️
