Oh no! Not concerns! If only there was an open source, decentralized platform that had an active community that could address said concerns if they become an issue.

Weird, it's like you only read the title. The article names several things. Data breaches. Unremovable content. And then some stuff that's sort of solved by defederation but still kind of an issue, like moderation.

This is the internet. Data breaches, and unremovable content have been here from the start, including with big tech companies. Also, how is moderation more of a problem here then on dumpster fires like Reddit and Twitter? I don't buy these criticisms of the Fediverse, sorry.

Unremovable content is actually an issue. Funny enough, a lot of deleted messages get removed from the history of the internet after some time. Backups aren't there and things actually will be forgotten after some years.
