    That’s not what privacy means. Mastodon is incredibly transparent that everything you do publicly is public - the threat model is very clear here.

    Also you can’t compare public tool used for tool interactions to a suite of private tools that is Proton or any other service.

    Finally if all of the data is available public for anyone to access this means it’s not exclusive to bad actors like ad machines, government spies etc.

      Exactly. The Fediverse is transparent to all the bad actors and they don’t even have to pay for access.

        If you post something publicly on a clearly public platform and expect people not to collect or look at your explicitly published information then that’s really on you. No amount of privacy or protection can help you at this point.
