The trouble with the thing you quoted twice in a row - unnecessarily padding out your post - is that saying “Mastodon may not be perfect” does not cancel out Pixelfed’s massive security issue.
Two wrongs don’t make a right.
Non-malicious servers aren’t supposed to do what Pixelfed did.
Hey, that’s a really good point. It turns out I was able to dig up an important thing to read that addresses it, though. Here, check this out:
Servers don’t necessarily disregard Mastodon’s privacy settings for malicious reasons. Mastodon’s privacy settings aren’t a part of the original OStatus protocol, and servers which don’t run a recent version of the Mastodon software simply aren’t configured to recognize them. This means that unlisted, private, or even direct posts may end up in places you didn’t expect on one of these servers
I was planning to just give it a rest, since we were going in circles, but you wandered into several additional comments sections and replied to me in all of them with a couple of new arguments, so I decided I would respond.

Don’t be a jackass and don’t spam.
Oh, you feel like repeated postings of exactly the same thing is unnecessary? Funny about that, I had a similar reaction.
You said you were done responding, so at least have the dignity of demonstrating a little bit of honesty where it is most apparent.
