I've said it before, but Meta is the only instance operator currently sending me a class action lawsuit payment for past data abuses

@touk cynically, that is just solely because no other instance is large enough or has been around long enough to be worth suing… yet.

@kevinriggle @touk well the other instances would need to successfully keep data first

@touk turns out I can make a lot of money with your data in ways that are totally legal!

@touk that's it, the solution to fediverse sustainability:
1) federate with meta
2) wait for them to abuse the data (which should take about 15 seconds) and the class action settlement (8-10 years)
3) Profit!!!!!
