   Also, I'm wondering when exactly you thought the Internet was a good place to post something while being reasonably sure the content would not be scraped and archived.

   Certainly couldn't have been any time in the past three decades.

   "When I walk in the middle of the freeway, I expect people to not hit me, it's about etiquette!"

   Btw, even the UX says you must post Unlisted to opt out of discovery features. This obviously wouldn't help you against governments, advertisers, really anybody worth hiding from. But it does opt you out of as:Public.

   For the record, governments, advertisers and the like have received *zero* direct threats of violent physical harm as the result of their fediverse indexing efforts. I have received dozens. Mine can be opted out of without ever visiting the site. Theirs cannot be opted out of for any reason at any time.

   It's about etiquette.
