@doot it's probably already been said, but this is why letting Facebook/Meta in is so dangerous

@Xantulon @doot lol this whole event should capably demonstrate why Fedi is a colossal privacy nightmare even without Meta, something everyone seems gagging to gloss over while they go into headless chicken mode about Zuck
It's not a big bad corp that got Kolektiva's server compromised, it's the fact that Fedi's entire functioning involves your posts and data being subject to the opsec practices of thousands of complete randos

@Xantulon @doot Put it this way - if Meta Platforms Inc/Twitter Inc/Alphabet Inc holds data about you that you don't want it to, and you are in a jurisdiction subject to GDPR or equivalent, they are an identifiable legal entity, you can sue them, and they will have an actual legal team and an actual data protection officer.
Something out on Fedi you want deleted? Have fun suing the hundreds of random - possibly anonymous - Fedi admins in numerous different countries that hold copies of it!

@Xantulon @doot Add to this the fact that all Meta (or anyone else) needs to do to slurp up all this data *completely legitimately and in an authorised way* is to have a single account on Mastodon.social with an API key, and that most instances don't bother to come up with privacy policies, and yeah, this is far more a "the call is coming from inside the house!" situation than an "oh no the big bads will break down our front door"
