Wasn’t there just a post about how all instance admins can access user action logs from all instances?
Would this potentially allow meta to grab info on users based on their upvote/downvotes? I’m pretty sure my email is linked to my account here, and it’s not a far jump to link it to any other accounts I use it for to build a profile depending on the data available.
I guess that’s the ultimate trade off with social media. There is no expectation of privacy and no way to avoid the corporations looking to influence you to make a buck.
I love that we have options but I hate the direction the internet as a whole is going. It makes me sad when I think too much about it.

Meta might already be secretly running any number of existing instances. For that matter, someone else you don’t trust definitely already is.
