>And when I exist on fedi, I expect to not receive direct threats of violent physical harm like pic related. It's about etiquette, you see. Manners, matter. Gotta be a good netizen.
>For the record, all of the direct threats of violent physical harm you see pictured here are still up and accessible, right now! Most of the people there are admins of their instances, and those instances do not have delivery issues, especially to employers or other League players.
>I got barred from 2,000 followers for asking for help. My last hope at a job, or even someone to play with, ripped asunder, taken away forever, never to be seen again for as long as I live.

This isn't an ad hoc position, just because some people violate social convention, doesn't mean that it stops existing, it's understandable that you hate them but I don't see how the rest of fedi is involved, most of which in my experience isn't like this

>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.

Never reasonably, no but I also don't think that it should stay the way that it is now

>"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.

Inapt analogy, the idea of the public scope is that it's public to users and on Pleroma at least, there is an opt-in toggle that allows indexing which as:Public doesn't respect. I don't know if Mastodon has it, because I've never used it

>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.

The ones that send you death threats are hypocrites then
