There is no user privacy on an open system. Just as there is no privacy when you walk down the street. If you want privacy go into your house and talk (use signal or any other privacy app).
Likewise peoples opinions are not meaningless.
The enshitification of the fediverse will come from corporate or so aligned instances that play it safe for brand. The scraping is irrelevant. Enshitification is a social issue, not a technical one.
There is no privacy, or there can't be privacy?
By intent there is none, and it should remain that way. This works on public openness, everything needs to be visible not further hidden away out of our reach on our platform.
Well that is surely not my intent.
