I am thankful for the fediverse and hope this never finds its way over here.

    Unfortunately, you know it will. If it can be done, someone will do it.

    Sure, but one instance making something stupid doesn't mean all or most will. The decentralizing part has its advantages and disadvantages. Not being owned by a single corporation with stock holders is definitely the main advantage.

    Honestly the fediverse is already a bit of a privacy nightmare, and people refuse to take it seriously. Our version of this horror will include your comments and voting activity and likely a bunch of other telemetry which isn't public on reddit. Oh and it won't just be a single "official" AI agent, it will be dozens of them from every corporate or government which wants to build a user database and keep it around forever.

    We could bake real privacy protection into our fediverse apps, but the admins and devs seem to have completely punted on this.
