The official Mastodon app (and most other Fediverse apps) do not collect any data about you.
When you sign up on a Fediverse server, it asks for the minimum amount of information (an email address and a password) and none of this info goes to the app or app makers.
This is in stark contrast to other social networks which seem to collect lots of personal info. See the attached image for a comparison of the privacy policies of various official social network apps.

Yup, totally agree.
BlueSky have set themselves up to enshittify by being a for-profit backed by VC money. They’ll tempt people in and then gradually ramp up the problematic behaviour as the drive for profit increases.
That’s why I’m steering clear of BlueSky, they seem to want to turn themselves into another Meta.
