Imagine purposefully giving a mewling quim like JACK direct access to your data ever again, just to sell it all to Elon Musk, again, again. People are in fact, sheep.
@downpunxx @fin Well, it is possible without any problem, to create a "fire hose" out of Fediverse data as well. So when someone wanted to analyze your posts, then this could be done easily with the Fediverse as well.
For values of public posts, yes.
My default for new posts is followers only and I have approve followers checked. (And I'm pretty picky, so far.)
More to the point, the discussion started out about the back end (whoever is in control of the servers selling all your data straight out of the database) and you're referring to the front end (using a tool to scrape as much posted content as possible).
@heavyboots No, I don't speak about any front end tool. There are API endpoints, relay servers and so on. These all can easily be used to receive a lot of data.
Yeah, this. People doing it again?
