I'm sure it's not massively known quite yet, so I'll mention them again:

@BeAware so pathetic you're on duty to chase another fediverse service daily and nightly. Is it a paid business?

@akurilov nah, just an obligation to help my fellow Fedi friends to avoid having their data sold without permission or compensation.

@Shoesmithlc haha. I've been posting about this particular one for months and the owner keeps block evading so I feel an obligation to stay on top of it.
Hes actually an idiot because he keeps replying to me directly. Giving himself away.

@Shoesmithlc @jspath55 the issue is, users might get the impression that it completely protects their posts from being seen and interacted with by the "blocked" domain. However, that's not the case.
It's like if you hate elephants, but are put into a room full of elephants with a blindfold and earmuffs on. You may not know they're there, but they are.

@[email protected] I mean, there are ways to opt out, and it seem's like a sort of bridge between the Fediverse and Telegram, so, as you said so yourself:
Any implementation that's "opt-in" is dead at the start because we can't teach everyone a lesson.

These posts are public, everything is public here, anyone could use this data for any purpose.
Usually when people talk about privacy violation, it is about selling personal data, like legal name, email, home address, private encrypted messages, etc. Stuff that is highly sensitive and pretty much wasn't intended to be known by anyone except a certain party.
If you don't want to make your posts available for everyone, there is a simple solution - stop using public social networks π§ -

@exerra Legitimate businesses don't make new domains when they're blocked and normal users here don't expect that their followers would sell their posts....unless you do?π€¨

@lonelyowl normal users don't expect that their followers would be the ones selling their data.

Then "normal users" have a twisted understanding of the word "public". You make a post, don't put any restrictions on it, you don't encrypt it, it is visible to EVERYONE, but you don't expect it to be scraped for by a stranger, for some reason. This kind of brainrot is responsible for a fact that we don't have a normal bsky bridge...

@lonelyowl nah. I said followers for a reason. Are you selling my posts?
The enemy I know as my friend feels worse than the enemy I don't know at all.
As you can tell, I'm very public. I don't have worries. But others do.
If I set my account to approve follows and actually approve a follower, that's not permission to sell the posts, I think.

@lonelyowl though, since I have your permission, I'll let you know when I find a buyer, so I can give you your 0% commission.
