     True, but as I mentioned in my first post, they can create Mastodon accounts pretending to be human and following you from Mastodon and get your data through the API.
     Someone can also create a Mastodon instance and get all your data that way as a "follower".
     Your public data on an open platform is not protected at all, this is by design.
     The domain name or type of software doesn't make a difference, protocol behaves the same
