@Mastodon Thank you for Mastodon, good to see that it is growing.

I like to read organization's job descriptions because it often shows what kind of tech they use.

I saw "Familiarity with cloud platforms like Google Cloud, AWS, Exoscale or Hetzner" for Mastodon.

Presumably that is knowledge so they can build out a privacy respecting system. I hope the plans aren't to build on Google/AWS or it is back to square one with #privacy.

@jebba @Mastodon who gave you the idea any of this was about privacy? There aren't even private messages on #activitypub

Well, if they are building on Google, AWS, or similar, users lose their privacy to those companies, who own the hardware the websites are on.

I'm just hoping they want those *skills*, not that they actually want to deploy on Google/AWS.

@jebba @Mastodon hate to tell you this but Google can see everything you put on a website, everyone can actually.

I get that.

But they can't see the network addresses (IP) of people on websites they don't host.

If it is on Google, they can see *all* the traffic.
