   @BeAware so pathetic you're on duty to chase another fediverse service daily and nightly. Is it a paid business?

     These posts are public, everything is public here, anyone could use this data for any purpose.

     Usually when people talk about privacy violation, it is about selling personal data, like legal name, email, home address, private encrypted messages, etc. Stuff that is highly sensitive and pretty much wasn't intended to be known by anyone except a certain party.
     If you don't want to make your posts available for everyone, there is a simple solution - stop using public social networks 🧐

     Then "normal users" have a twisted understanding of the word "public". You make a post, don't put any restrictions on it, you don't encrypt it, it is visible to EVERYONE, but you don't expect it to be scraped for by a stranger, for some reason. This kind of brainrot is responsible for a fact that we don't have a normal bsky bridge...

     No problem, dude, i'm an anti-copyright extremist anyway, you can assume all my stuff is public domain 🙂

     Well, scraping someone's follower-only posts is indeed a dubious thing. From one perspective, it is worth mentioning that "follower-only" posts are in fact not protected, they are broadcasted to everyone anyway, and could be made public by a pleroma mrf policy (like the one annihilation.social is using).
     From other perspective it is a rather bad behavior. Anyway, stop assuming your posts here to be "protected", it is dumb and, honestly, dangerous.

     You still can block people and instances if you don't like them for whatever reason, though.

     Don't forget to also mention that their posts are public, and they should keep that in mind before posting anything, otherwise bad things could happen 🧐
