Thanks for the summary! How is the fediverse against surveillance though? Isn’t it easy to scrape data since it’s all public

Check out the app permissions for the Mastodon app vs its competitors, and you'll get an idea.

Of course, it's not the Fediverse as such - Threads is still surveillance capitalism, even if it gains full AP support. And 3rd party Mastodon apps can track as much as they want. But the Fediverse makes it possible, by not depending on returns on investments.
