Same as reddit, same as Facebook, same and Twitter. It’s the same as any website. Anything you post is most certainly getting scraped to create a profile on you. Whether that is for nefarious purposes for just to better serve you ads is irrelevant.

There is no privacy to anything you post on the internet to public forums.

Just look at the effort that went into making “work from home” viable back in 2020. The fediverse is not a unique case of being a “privacy nightmare”.

For fun, try to “dox yourself” by searching on Google from a different IP and computer from what you normally use for your name, usernames, etc. to see what information is freely available to the public.

tldr: practice good opsec!

Don’t have kids…

While this is funny, it drives traffic to the site so it’s the equivalent of people buying Nike shoes to then burn as protest. The company is still making money and they’re getting free advertising.

A better protest would be to delete Reddit accounts, uninstall the apps, and see how long you can go without hearing or thinking about reddit.

When I first used a backup camera in 2015, I immediately felt it should be required due to how easy it is to see if there is a kid or dog behind your car while backing up. I’m glad they actually did make it required! Though my issue with it now is how there doesn’t seem to be a standard resolution, field of view, etc. So some cars have a terrible backup camera, but there’s always turning your head around and looking back there!

Next they should make front cameras for personal trucks required!
