  @dogzilla @chris @shanie basically always. You're either constantly consciously deciding what level of compromise you're willing to make or you're giving away your privacy and freaking out over nothing.

  @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. Unless you’re paying your admin, you have zero right to demand or expect anything from them and it’s on *you* as a user to whom this (or any other issue) is important to follow that stuff.

      @dogzilla @shanie @fediversenews @chris @activitypubblueskybridge @fedidevs I never said anything about “demanding” anything from anyone. If you have a shit admin though, or believe they are not healthy for you, yes, feel free to change servers. Only weakness is you “lose” your previous posts but whatever.

      But if you are an admin and don’t at least sit and listen to your server, why are you an admin of social media?
