Fediverse privacy nightmare? (blog.bloonface.com)

I think they are leaving out something quite important in this blog post - nobody is using their real names here.

It's very different from Meta or Google or whatever big tech company people have accounts on, where they know your real name and many more details, such as phone number and address.

I don't see the privacy danger in someone sweeping up what we are talking about here, since we are pseudo anonymous. Am I missing something?

Whats the value of random aliases discussing something and why is that a privacy issue?

This is 100% FUD. The content of your profile, and the posts you send out to the world are not supposed to be private. What's supposed to be private is:

  • Your IP address
  • Your location
  • Your email address
  • your contacts
  • your browsing data
  • your health data
  • your purchase history

Etc. etc. These are the privacy issues you should be concerned with.
