Some people are claiming the fedi is not private and anyone can see "all your data". This is sooo simplistic.
Yes federation means anyone can see your posts and votes which reduces privacy. But in comparison the privacy-invasive stuff that mainstream social media does goes way way beyond that.
PieFed has no Google analytics, no Facebook pixel, no mobile app hoovering up all your phone contents, no telemetry, doesn't track which websites you leave to, doesn't require a real name and so on and on. It's not even in the same league.
