i just want to be sure everyone knows that there is absolutely NO privacy on this fucking website. the firehose-- every post being made by everyone-- is publicly available by API. do not post anything on here you don't want scraped and used by bad actors

Agree with all but not with fucking

I saw a very good Mastodon post about this the other day: mastodon.gamedev.place/@badlogic/11... (also note, it includes a thread reader app for bluesky)

Everything you post online or in ANY app will probably be viewed by someone else in the future. You give the words & images away once you click the button.

"i feel safe here" bro you cant even lock your account

And here i thought i could finally post thirsty stuff on main

What sites do you use where that's not the case?

And? You seem to be very agitated by the fact that public space is indeed public.

"Do not post anything here that you would not want to see on the front page of the New York Times" is a lesson I was taught on Usenet back in 1989.

Thank you for posting this helpful reminder AND for incidentally creating a nice block list

Why would anyone expect privacy on a public paying website. There’s a reason I don’t use my real name.
