@stargazer @FaithinBones @themarkup I don’t use Threads either
@FaithinBones you do not need to use #Threads, Threads is 'joining' the fediverse and their TOS make very clear: if you (read that as: your mastodon instance) interact with them all data on that instance is fair game to them. This is not what the #fediverse was meant to be. I also shudder at the aspect of 100,000,000 #Meta accounts flooding our timelines. #resist #fedipact #BlockThreads
@themarkup
@stargazer oh quite the contrary, it IS what Fediverse was meant to be.
At its core Fediverse was programmed to put content out there without the control of authors. I criticize them for those design decisions, but they were made, and it is what it is.
Fediverse was designed so that all content is fair game. You don't even need to interact with Threads for them to get your content--ActivityPub will happily broadcast it into their datastores.
It's critical that users realize that if they want to keep using Fediverse.
