We’re not intruding on this space. We’ve been in the fediverse for just as long or longer; the fediverse has been scrapable since 2008.

Totally. And while it was scrapable, and scraped a lot, I wish there had been a lot more systematic public scraping of the "federated social web" (as it was called before the terrible name "fediverse" was adopted) back then - I had a lot of public conversations on identi.ca and StatusNet which I wish I could still see, but they now exist only in a bunch of private databases I don't have access to. 😢
