@Mr_Jabroni
Considering the well-known privacy violations and surveillance practices of Meta/Facebook, it's not hard to imagine that one of their future actions, possibly sooner rather than later, would involve cross-referencing accounts in the fediverse with their own platforms like Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram, and others. In Mastodon, users have the option to block instances, ensuring that those instances cannot access their data. However, we don't even have that level of protection here.

Drone taxis take first test spin in Israel in bid to ease traffic congestion in c/[email protected]

@sexy_peach It can mitigate a lot in some places.
I don't see as an adequate solution for the people transportation, but it can facilitate a lot the transportation of wares and hardware. I mean in the specific case of Israel, in which already the roads and the railways are overloaded.
For transportation of people I agree that this solution cannot compete with a good public transport infrastructure, more traditional and based on train, bus and collective taxis.
