This is why they need to make this change, right now theres a false sense of privacy. If I really wanted to see your votes right now, all I need to do is to set up my own instance.

I think people misunderstand. I too would prefer privacy, but theres a big BUT.

Due to how the federation works, anyone who is tech savvy enough can already see votes. One way is to run an instance.

This change doesn't lower privacy, it aligns expectations with reality. A false sense of privacy, which people obviously show here in the comments, is way more dangerous.

agreed.

What if banksy sued anyone who shared or archived photos of his wall art, that wouldn't make sense

don't misunderstand me now, i really don't want to defend record companies, but

legally they made deals and wrote contracts. It's not really the same thing.

They are removing the only really useful part of the start menu. Fucking genious.

I wouldn't say no danger, but the danger was averted. It did even release radioactive material, but not enough to be dangerous.

It could have gone much worse, but it didn't.
