Yeah, it is. And I'm not saying that's not a valid reason to resist companies in the fediverse, it totally is. I'm just saying the privacy concerns everyone is mentioning don't really make sense, anything they could get, everyone already has
Yeah I kind of roll my eyes about it too. "Things you delete are there forever" - that's literally how the internet has always worked. It's like when people found out their snap chats and Instagram stories could be seen by anyone who worked at the companies...like fucking obviously, they DEVELOPED the app and host all the content?!
