Just out of curiosity is it possible to easily bulk collect #ActivityPub content in a manner akin to #Usenet archives? If so, given the current state of affairs in the world, that might not be a good thing.
Today's reasonable stance on some issue might become tomorrow's wrong-think. All sides do it, sometimes even to their own. (So don't assume immunity.) I don't like to see people get cancelled for the thoughts of yesteryear.
Yes, and everyone needs to keep in mind that given the design decisions behind ActivityPub, all privacy related issues are on a voluntary basis.
If you post content with a specific audience, that will probably get actively broadcast to a different instance whose operator has every ability to ignore the privacy settings, rebroadcast the content publicly, and ignore all requests for deletion.
This is an ax I grind around here because so many people don't realize how weak privacy protections are when they act on this platform.
