       I'm seeing a whole lot of posts to the effect of "my Mastodon profile is public, so Meta's not getting access to anything they don't have already." But of course they're going to get access to something they don't have right now, namely how we link into their social graph. They don't have that info because it doesn't exist yet. But we will create it for them, one follow at a time.

       And the graph is what matters most to them. Right now - yeah, they can scrape Mastodon if they want. But the data really isn't that useful by itself. What makes it useful are the relationships between their already massive social graph and the folks here.
