Actually, I'm reading it on my instance, at fedia.io.
You're on ani.social. When you post a comment your ani.social instance sends a copy of that comment to the instance at programming.dev, which is where the community privacy@programming.dev is hosted. The programming.dev instance has a list of other instances that have users with subscriptions to privacy@programming.dev, and it automatically forwards a copy of that comment to all the subscribed instances. That includes fedia.io, since I am on that instance and I'm subscribed to privacy@programming.dev. So when I log in to fedia.io it has a copy of your comment already stored locally for me to see. This all happens automatically when you post your comment, you initiated that chain of actions yourself.
Maybe before you brush up on the law you should brush up on how the Fediverse operates.
Now get a lawyer to brush you up on when programming.dev/c/privacy ask my direct permission to acquire my copyrighted content on ani.social, and why you're allowed to copy programming.dev’s illicit copy on fedia.io, without transitive permission.
Just sue me already, okay? It'll be less hassle than continuing to try to explain this to you.
