Why trust a private for-profit company from the US with a closed source app, when you could use an open source non-profit like Mastodon instead? Obviously the answer is the larger user base, but you're definitely trading that for trust.

IMO, US-based for profit companies cannot be trustworthy, and even US-based non-profits have to prove themselves before they should be trusted (e.g. Signal passed every test thrown at them so far).

I was thinking about Iris or the XMPP servers.

Is posting publicly on a public website good for privacy (aka keeping what you do non-public)?

Bluesky is not encrypted and pretty centralised. I imagine they dont allow access via TOR, so most likely you can't use it anonymously. I bet however that there are mastodon instances that dont have a problem with TOR or VPN access.
