Similar to the time Soviet Russia wanted to join the anti-Soviet alliance which was trying to pretend wasn’t made to plot against the soviets.

    As long as it didn’t pollute the fedi timeline with ads, AI slop and partnered posts, that’d be OK to me… (If someone worrying about our posts/comments being used by AIs, it’s already happening even for those instances that does not federate with Threads; Proofs? Once I searched for my own username and I got surprised on how my fediverse posts are spread all across the results through federated instances that I never heard about, so if my fedi content shows on Google, it’s certainly being fed to some AI datasets)

        It is radically public. It’s designed to broadcast your content to hundreds of other peoples’ computers running all manner of different software which might then rebroadcast it to yet more. The whole architecture is oriented toward spreading things far and wide, and what tools exist to restrict the audience or retract content already shared are little more than polite suggestions.

        That’s not a flaw, but people using it should understand how it works so they don’t run into surprises.
