They can’t stop the signal.
Are people not posting titty memes because of scraper bots?
I mean, there’s always scraper bots. What’s the difference?
Hell, it would be nice if some of the larger search engines scraped lemmy and actually returned results. I’ve searched for tech stuff I posted myself or commented on and couldn’t find it on a search engine. Had to go through my comment history to find it.
I’m struggling to understand why anyone would join the Fediverse if this is a dealbreaker.
ActivityPub is like RSS and Sendmail had a baby that doesn’t respect your privacy at all. Every time you post, comment, or even vote, it’s blasted out to every server and user within the blast radius. If you delete something, there are dozens of databases and image proxy caches ready to ignore the delete request and host your regrettable post forever.
Every time you send a DM, you have to trust all the admins of both instances involved not to read the messages.
Way more is visible than it appears. With the right API calls people know what you upvoted and downvoted.
