    Fediverse sites are not private and secure. That is basically the entire point, it’s an open standard that shares information with whoever wants to spin up an instance to receive it.

      yup, what you post publicly is public. It’s the reason I find it irrational when people are complaining about X now lets blocked users see your posts. Your posts are public, people who created a fresh account can see your posts, it is already public, blocking stopping them from viewing your posts only gave you a false perception of privacy.

      The only advantage of fediverse is you can choose an instance that doesn’t sell your browsing habits, other instances can only see your public actions like public posts and votes.
