Do you really think CSIS, CSEC, or the RCMP really care or know much about the fediverse? It is not the place most of the people are on. Now the five eyes may see the data coming out of your place and have you on a list just for using a non-commercial thing to get away from trackers, but seeing as how you are here I am sure you are on their lists for other reasons to.

Not saying that you are a bad person or anything but rather someone who respects privacy, and the global security system does not like people who respect privacy.

    Yes. They absolutely do know and care and there are likely a few among us, even as normal users.

    I'm on a lot of lists for a lot of reasons, I'm certain.

    I'm not a bad person, though i have done some bad things. And I'm not a good person, though I've done some good things.

    How the state sees those do not always parallel.

    I appreciate my privacy - I'm a reformed tech evangelical apostate, sometime political actioner, and aware of the mass nonconsenting harvest at every turn.

    I am on a lot of lists as well, I can say that probably a lot if not all of my email addresses are being monitored (200+) and a lot of CPU power is being wasted on seeing the spam that is going to those addresses. I am under no illusion that I am not being watched, but what I am saying is using the fediverse is probably seen as noise, not a list item yet. Fedivervse things are not yet targets for people who are not techy people trying to escape capitalism.

    I am very open about how people should move away from big tech and move to OSS and I wish more people could reasonabily move to open source hardware as well, but we are aways away from that yet.

    I am fairly certain that getting off of advertiser lists also put me on watch lists, I am sure there are CPU cycles being wasted on seeing my normal everyday internet from trackers that are to high up that my pihole and other ad/tracker blockers cannot block. I am sure I started being on lists way back in the day that I got the red hat for dummies book and started learning about linux.

    I was almost certainly put on a list in high school when I found a way to look into the system at my high school to see how their website blocker worked and found a way around it. I am sure I was put on a list when I was in University and started studying the psychology and sociology crime. I am sure I was put on a list when I had my ID stolen and I made the stupid decision to have my credit locked, rather than just monitoring it. I am sure I was put on a list when I had my name and gender marker changed. I am sure I was put on a list for 100’s of other things to.
