Reason

- A token lets us connect to the the public timeline streaming API of your instance so that we can include it in our sampling of the Fediverse. + A token lets us connect to the the public timeline streaming API of your instance so that we can include it in our sampling of the Fediverse, and to redistribute it through the #FediBuzz Relay, a service that is already used by many small instances. We are very happy to run this tool in support of decentralized media, implementing what centralized services do with ease: to provide a global view. Just like search engines do for the Web.

Background

- Mastodon v4.2.0 breaks unauthenticated access in future versions. That really sucks for #FediBuzz and the #FediBuzz Relay. + Mastodon v4.2.0 breaks unauthenticated access in future versions. That really sucks for #FediBuzz.

Your privacy

- We consume only the federated timeline. We don't even see boosts or replies. The permissions that we request won't allow us to do anything else. + We consume only the federated timeline. We don't even see boosts or replies. The permissions that we request shouldn't allow us to do anything else.

#FediBuzz gets at less data than what the Web crawlers can see. Of course, we respect the Internet standard robots.txt.

- Despite taking these precautions on our side, we still do not recommend using ActivityPub for sensitive communications. After all, it is made for publishing. For private messaging we recommend XMPP with OMEMO. + Despite taking these precautions on our side, we still do not recommend using ActivityPub for sensitive communications. After all, it is made for publishing. Your data on Mastodon is already available to secret polices and script kiddies who will laugh at a robots.txt. For private messaging, we recommend XMPP with OMEMO.
