That is wrong. GDPR of course covers public information. It simply does not force platforms to hide this kind of information. But transmission of these informations without user's consent and especially sale of these informations could possibly be prohibited by a court referencing GDPR.

But simply transmitting it for the purposes of making the protocol work, falls under legimitate purposes, like sending an email to email server in China

Absolutely.

But if a fedi software/instance decided to do something else with this public data, it could get legally problematic. That is the point I'm making.
