    And that’s easier on the fediverse than any other social media platform

    This seems to be a big misunderstanding, if we’re talking votes and participation then you are right, but participating data is but a fraction of the data collected by all other forms of social media. Websites can track:

    • Login and usage times
    • Ip addresses
    • Every single action that is made, clicked, viewed, etc

    And with apps they track

    • Notification data
    • Local network
    • User behaviour
    • User engagement
    • And depending on the given permissions much more

    I own my instance, therefore I own the all of the data that could be tracked. Yes my participation is synced with the entire Fediverse, but nothing about my usage and behaviour is.
