A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.
Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".
Getting started on Fediverse;
Most Fediverse data is public so its very easy to scrape. Facebook wouldnt even have to implement any federation in their own platforms if thats their only goal.
on the other hand, it would be illegal to scrape masto data and use it to profile people for ads. If that geta reported, it could be sued hard
When have scammers ever cared if something is legal? And corporations like meta can pay a lot more lawyers than you.
