Agreed. Although The Fediverse also can’t easily be searched via your standard search engines, so finding that public information is harder than on other social media apps (for now…).
This isn’t to say there isn’t a privacy concern using any Fediverse Social media platform. It’s just that there are some inherent design implementations that make it hard for the average person to invade the privacy of a user of the platform.
This is, of course, afaik. Please let me know if I’m mistaken.
Search currently kinda sucks actually inside the fediverse. I tried to find one of those posts before making the comment but gave up because it was worthless.
I’d imagine it’s only a matter of time until someone makes something better, and 3rd parties start mining it. Or we’ll get that nefarious third party with a server just ingesting all our data to sell off.
pretty much spot on, search is still pretty bad on fedi (on the twittery side and the reddity side)
although it is still not hard to invade someones privacy the old fashioned way by, for instance, making alt accounts to evade blocks but thats nothing unique thats all platforms
