If you care about keeping your data private then why are you on the fediverse? Everything here is public. Anyone can datamine if they want. And you can't even delete your data if you want (since there are backups on different instances). Even your DM's can be read by the admins of your or the recipients instance.

That's the purpose of public forum. There is a difference between Fediverse selling your data and someone scraping comments you made publicially. They also offer Send Secure Message if the user has added their Matrix handle. Which offers E2E by default for private messages.

I also believe the delete issue was resolved, but not sure if it was merged already.
