“ If you’re wondering why this matters, here’s a reason: you may one day end up leaving Threads, or, hopefully not, end up de-platformed. If that ever happens, you should be able to take your audience with you to another server. Being open can enable that.”
The unfortunate reality is that unlike us, most of the Twitter users could not care less about making choices, let alone privacy.
Twitfaces can’t calm down and talk without going ballistic and you think they’ll willingly look into what federated social media is?
Alot of them are moving though thanks to twitter repeatedly fucking up, I’ve been seeing some artists and such on mastodon recently that were only on twitter before.
People just need to spread the word; there isn’t a marketing campaign or anything for the fediverse after all.
My big hope from this is that people might learn more about federated content and the fediverse in general. Then they can move away from stuff meta makes into the actual private internet.
I’m reeeeeal cautious about it. There’s a Dr. Strange level of one positive ending, and that’s where users log into FB’s not twitter, discover a ton of content on mastadon and lemmy, subscribe, and then when they eventually try to sever the connection (when, not if), most of the content is over here and people want to switch.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]
Rules:
Be civil and nice.
Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
installs app
Declines everything
“To use the app You need to allow-”
Uninstalls app
Twitter collects just about as much data
Facebook makes a product that squeezes every last drop from your privacy? Nooooooo waaaay!
Ahem. They’re called Meta.
But seriously, fuck anything Zuckerberg owns.
I would love to use it as a conduit to drag those I love out of the Facebook/Instagram microcosms.
Adam Mosseri appears to be embracing the idea of Open Federation for Threads; https://www.threads.net/t/CuRtcYTNY3J

As long as Meta hasn’t Embraced, Extended and Exterminated the fediverse by that point.
They gave up on the metaverse already so I don’t think that name fits anymore.
I don’t care what they all themselves, they are always going to be Facebook.
Looks to me that Zuck is trying to compete with Truth Social – no way this garbage will be Federated.
All social media are same lol
As of Twitter doesn’t collect your data…
“Instagram owner” just say Meta lol
We all know it’s the Zucc, you don’t gotta lie of omission to kick it.
twitter alternative, is mastodon, everything else is companies trying to cache with fediverse
Great, another Meta privacy brea… I mean service I can stay away from.
No no, you were right the first time
Yeah I don’t get why they need all these permissions. Crazy
Because they want it. It’s the main reason why they’ve built the app.
for targeted ads I guess
you lost me at “Instagram”
That’s impossible, Instagram already knows your gps coordinates…
Mastodon is already pretty active, and is also part of the fediverse

We are the marketing campaign.
“If you can hear this… You ARE the resistance.”
Just no.

Yeah… Meta the owner of Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp wants to collect data from you? Shocker
