I was thinking about this recently… By going to a federated system, one that essentially copies all of your content from one instance to another, when you delete a comment, does that comment get deleted on every instance? Is that even possible?

The data isn't being collected to be sold /yet/.

Eh, if i wanted to i could scrape various instances and do whatever i want. The question is would i be able to pin information to identities without the accompanying meta data or would i only get a big text corpus.

The benefit of the fediverse is that no instance can sell the whole package, because most instances only have the posts of most users and nothing more. Reddit has way more additional data that can be used to track and identify someone.
