That is wrong. GDPR of course covers public information. It simply does not force platforms to hide this kind of information. But transmission of these informations without user’s consent and especially sale of these informations could possibly be prohibited by a court referencing GDPR.
I guess that could be in regards to user profiling.
Since no fedi platform aggregates user data like “user xy always upvotes topic a, therefore I will show him more on topic a via an algorithm”, or shows algorithmic advertisements, or sells user data for advertisements etc, I don’t think it’s relevant to GDPR at the moment.
In reality there is no alternative to Visa/Mastercard. Any other product either uses them in the background, or is not a credit card product. The only other option is the japanese credit card, I forgot its name

Absolutely.
But if a fedi software/instance decided to do something else with this public data, it could get legally problematic. That is the point I’m making.
