You've just shared some data for free for anyone to use. Self-hosting doesn't mean shit, my friend.

Yeah? That was the intention, lol. I self-host not because I'm a tinfoil hatter but because I want to be in charge of my own data.

I'm under no illusion that my public submissions can't/won't be scraped. My goal is simply to not give surveillance capitalists a mainline to my personal data nor allow myself to be turned into or used as a product to be mined and sold; I choose what I want to share. I put it out into the world, and whatever comes of it does (or doesn't).

The difference is that only what I choose to share can be mined and not everything.

Fair enough. I just wanted to clarify that you're aware.
