Meta should stay away from fediverse!

[-] BNE@lemmy.blahaj.zone 47 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah, not a fan of the ominous shadow threads™️ casts. I don't trust them not to flood the fediverse with assorted toxic garbage to push people back towards their walled garden platforms.

The fediverse offers something radical - a new shot at genuine self determination and a socialised, self-governing internet. That shit spells B-A-D N-E-W-S for incumbent platforms (imo) and they're bad actors in general; they wouldn't think twice about smothering anything that threatens their short/long term profits. Who'se going to stop them?

Might be a little bit overly risk concious but goddamn. If I were them, I'd be trying to kill alternative ecosystems before they grew - especially if mine (metas) is both trash to use, and be used by.

Even worse, the Threads app is a privacy nightmare

I bet meta really wants to keep track of people in fediverse

What does "Other Data" even cover? Could be literally anything Meta wants

[-] EricHill78@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I bet your DNA profile is part of the "other data". /s

Technically genetic information is covered by 'sensitive info.' I'm not joking.

ActivityPub is no more radical than NNTP. Lemmy is almost an exact reimplementation of newsgroups

[-] DarthBueller@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It will be a reimplementation of usenet when I can turn text into 0 day warez.
