We’re in an exciting time for users who want to take back control from major platforms like Twitter and Facebook. However, this new environment comes with challenges and risks for user privacy, so we need to get it right and make sure networks like the Fediverse and Bluesky are mindful of past...
I think the we should use fediverse with the expectations we had using the internet of old: Don’t post anything you want to keep secret, and anything you put online is potentially permanent.
I was always a little skeevy towards Facebook and other major social media sites when everyone was encouraged to use real names, post personal details, and share real photos of themselves and friends. Hell I still don’t get how people here share everything from faces to nudes and not expect their privacy to be compromised.

An entire generation has grown up not expecting privacy. It’s their normal.
