Fedi.Tips

p.p.s. Another significant difference between the Fediverse and BlueSky:

- The official BlueSky app collects personal data.

- Most Fediverse apps (including the official Mastodon app) do not collect any personal data.

If BlueSky is already collecting personal data now, what do you think will happen a few years down the line when they're pushing for more profit growth?

BlueSky is full of red flags.
