@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.

@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.

@shanie @fediversenews @chris @activitypubblueskybridge @fedidevs Unlike every other social media, you can just spin up your own instance and be your own admin.

If you don’t agree with how your admin runs their instance, fire up your own
