The downside of everything being federated is that it’s really easy to listen in. Make sure to keep yourself anonymous online!

    There are some fedi scrapers.
    At least some people on Mastodon really noticed it after they managed to look up their name on chatGPT

    At least for a while (dont know the current case) some people bragged about being able to scrape fedi content or something

    Dont know it some of the scrapers are gov spies tho

    Gonna edit this after finding the saved messages that support my comment, needs probably a while ;.;

    Edit: did not find it but searching for “Fediverse Scraper” has at the top two fediverse scraper tools hosted on GitHub, so yea, its easy
