This is your reminder that if your post is set to "Public", then anyone can and probably will, do anything they want with your posts.

With over 20,000 Fedi instances and 10m accounts, you have no way to tell who or what is consuming your posts and what they could be doing with them.

Consider your public posts as if you just threw them out on the sidewalk for all to see. There's no expectation of privacy on the sidewalk.

See: Awakari for an example of a service that has been on Fedi for over a year now that sells data based on topics discussed.

How do I know they sell it? There's an option on their site that says "Free first 30 days of access", implying that there's a fee after the 30 days.

Do yourself a favor and don't post publicly if you expect privacy.

@qui_oui Ah. More likely the same!

I'm wondering how it started, and in two differeet networks at that, on different days.

Do people these days just want to be anti-AI because it's trending? 😅
