I really sympathise with people who shared something with their circle of followers and are now surprised to learn that it might end up on Threads or Bluesky or in some data miner's hoard.

The Mastodon software should absolutely do a better job of telling people that when they sign up (it's in the privacy policy, but you know).

At the same time, nobody is helped by pretending that blocking this or that server will effectively control who gets to access public posts.
