Say you don’t understand the fediverse without saying you don’t understand the fediverse.
By these standards:
In all three cases, your safety is determined by the home you choose, and who/what you choose to interact with.
Nothing is ultimately safe, life is uncertainty. That doesn't mean one should not care about privacy, but it's apparently very difficult to tell people to use human sense and that pink mass between their ears. If I wanna use a wood planer, I should first learn at least the basics. They all want something "that just works". Newsflash, nothing "just works", paleolithic people knew that already.
I really don't know where this notion of the Internet is safe and you get privacy came from. I was taught 25 years ago that neither of those were true.
