So from my understanding, I can block an instance which prevents it from showing in my feed.

However, if the instance I post to (.world) is not blocked on the receiving instance’s end (Meta), they will still get my post (unless defederated)?

If so, doesn’t that open up the idea that Meta will be able to scrape and take ALL the data from ALL the (still federated) instances’ posts that are not blocked by the Meta instance(s)? How can I protect my information from Meta while still being federated, or is that not possible?

    If you post something public, people can access it. Corporations can access it. It’s one of the reasons I ditched all my social media that identified me directly. They can scrape my stuff, sure; but they won’t be able to link it to my actual name, face or existence in real life.
