The very nature of Federation means that all data needs to be openly shared between platforms, so even if there's some info you don't see on your client of choice, assume that every single interaction you have with the platform is public.

And that's why hornyposting on main is an even worse idea than normal

Unless? ( ˶o˶˶o˶) !! jk jk....

While that is very much true, but I find it debatable if you (as in the dev) want the user facing UI to show it.

But even if platforms agree to not make the data visible, anyone can spin up their own instance and browse through the backend data that is being sent. It's the ActivityPub protocol itself, not the individual platforms that use it.

The main difference is ease, and if you have to spin up your own instance vs just press a button I’d guess most people wouldn’t do it

Most people wouldn’t, but all the ones you need to worry about would.

You've never seen how dedicated trolls and bad actors can get, I see.
