Uh.. this fediverse stuff is all on the public internet. Facebook could be slurping it up just as easily without joining at all.

It doesn't matter. People will never understand the difference between the open web and walled gardens.

People say they want freedom, but in reality they want to become little tyrants. We've been asking for years to have a level-up playing field, and now that we do these reactionaries are going to find something else about it.

Definitely not as easily and 100% not legally. I actually don't think they would scrape stuff off of the fediverse like that because that is just a lawsuit waiting. Besides, scraping is really not feasible when it comes to getting information like that.
