@shanie @snarfed.org @activitypubblueskybridge @fedidevs @fediversenews “They could have been a bad actor and you would never know” does not seem to be a good point to make to convince people of bridging.

@snarfed.org @activitypubblueskybridge @fedidevs @fediversenews A lot of people are upset about this but ya'll know, straight up, if your feed is live & people not auth'd can read your server feed you *don't have privacy*. Mastodon and the fediverse in general never said anything about expectations of privacy.
Snarfed here could have been a bad actor and never told you anything and as far as I know it's in the clear.
If you don't like it, block the bridge and move on.

@chris @snarfed.org @activitypubblueskybridge @fedidevs @fediversenews Lucky for you they gave admins an option of what you want done. Good actor.
A bad actor, for example, is likely already gathering your servers data and training it on a LLM as you have no power over THEIR server; you have *volunteered that data by federating*. Your ToS means nothing. Oops.
Someone truly worried about privacy would not be federating at all.

@shanie @fediversenews @chris @activitypubblueskybridge @fedidevs At what point do privacy concerns interfere with basic functionality?

@dogzilla @fediversenews @chris @activitypubblueskybridge @fedidevs that’s extremely dependent on what kind of privacy violation, but privacy concerns interfere with basic functionality when the admin(s) of your instance get(s) lazy, really.
If you have active Admins and you can bring your concerns to their table, or they pay attention to #mastoadmin and do their due diligence, you will have a “safer” server.

@tauon @fediversenews @activitypubblueskybridge @fedidevs @snarfed.org How to take a point and not at all understand what it means for $500, Alex.
It’s possible to do bad thing, so take control of your server and prevent it in an active way.
