They didn’t leave the Fediverse because of that. They got the same reaction on Reddit and Bluesky, but are still on those platforms.

Don't really care what the reason is. They're supposed to be a privacy company and they've abandoned the only semi-private media platform.

The fediverse is not private. It’s open, that’s the point of it. There’s very few protections on your data. By necessity, your data will flow through hundreds of third party servers who can do whatever they want with it.

The benefit of the Fediverse is that it’s decentralized and that helps users avoid the BS that Twitter went through.

I said "semi-private" for what I feel like are obvious reasons when compared to other platforms.
