TLDR: While Fediverse won’t directly serve you ads, anonymous bad actors other than Meta can save, redistribute, and even dox you for any information you post here. Anything you post here can/will remain forever on some malicious instance that doesn’t honor deletion requests. So be careful!

    Anything you post here can/will remain forever on some malicious instance that doesn’t honor deletion requests.

    That is true of literally any social media; Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, Facebook, there is nothing preventing someone from screenshotting a post, or a web crawler from archiving it, and then keeping that information after it is deleted from the original source.
