Personally, I want nothing to do with them and I'm not willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. I moved to the Fediverse to get away from all these corpos.

Data mining can happen without any of that, everything you post in the fediverse is literally available for anyone to see. Realistically, the most harm they can do is build controlled communities that grow so huge that they drown out all of the fediverse's open communities.

Your most harm scenario is exactly what they want to do.

Look at what happened with Google Chrome and browser standards. We don't want a company that dominates the landscape changing the rules in their favour.
