Your instance knows

  • Your IP address
  • Your E-Mail (if provided
  • Your password (salted of course)
  • Your session type (browser, app, etc)
  • Your interactions (posts, comments, saved, upvotes, downvotes, etc
  • Your social graph (following and followers, etc)

Everyone in public knows

  • Your session type (optional)
  • Your interactions (posts (if set public), comments, saved (depending on service), upvotes, downvotes, boosts, etc)
  • Your social graph (may be optional depending on service)

Nope. It's public. Assume everybody has a copy of everything sent over ActivityPub.
