Use a private group chat, and it can be decentralized too using matrix! The fediverse is a public protocol, and indexing public content is fair use(ML is not indexing, its very different), so any kind of licensing won't matter. Discovery is already crap in mastodon and the fediverse in general, please don't stop people from improving it. It may look like eternal September for fediverse natives, but that's what going mainstream is like, don't like it? Create something with some kind of intentional barrier like HN to stop the masses from joining. I find the fear about getting doxed and having your words watched and used against you from fediverse natives very funny, because I guarantee you that most of them support cancel culture. In general I find old fediverse communities too fragile, one example are the crazy content warnings(just mute words and topics you don't like, simple!) and now this.
