Your privacy is compromised eithor way. That's the point. You just don't want it to be so obvious. Like putting a spare key under the welcome mat at your door, that's a bad idea.

Because people don't pay attention to signs.
You knowing people can easily see everything you've posted, effects your behavior here, far more than any banner you'd also complain about having to click past every time.
Yes. The later makes very clear to everyone, they don't have any privacy here.
My point is, that's a good thing.
That can work then. I might try it.
Yah. This doesn't work if you are scrolling through several dozen apps in the app drawer. They all look too much alike.
But your saying Peertube should have all the forum functionality of Lemmy, and the endless short video scroll of Loops.
rgluilis suggested a generic server idea, where the media and experience differentiating is done at the client app level. That could work well. But that's an entirely different concept and structure.
And that's great! Everyone gets what they want. But suggesting Lemmy, Pixelfed, and Peertube, etc. should all try to do it the way Friendica does, is a bad idea.
So like a single ActivityPub instance that hosts all the data, but users can have a Pixelfed app, Lemmy app, etc. all connect to that one server and use it to give the experience they specifically provide.
That's a cool idea. I can see how that would work.
Why would you follow the same accounts on multiple platforms?
Or do you mean one person who has accounts on multiple platforms?
I think you might be conflating two things. Right now the Fediverse largely looks like you just described. It's in it's infancy, trying to copy what it sees around it. Eventually it'll become a rebellious teen and forge it's on seperate identity. That's inevitable. I wouldn't worry about it.
It's a very different thing though, saying all the apps need to integrate all the features and experience of every other app, so they're all largely the same and there's never a need to use more than one. That sounds like a terrible idea.
Is it?
Because that seems really dumb.
Why would any specific niche service want to duplicate the features and functions of every single other niche service? The whole point is to have different experiences and uses, that might be able to (however works for them) interoperate as they see fit.
It's a terrible idea that they should all try to eventually do all the same everything.
Not when it gives you a false sense of security.
