“Threads is deepening its ties to the fediverse, also known as the open social web, which powers services like X alternative Mastodon, Pixelfed, PeerTube, Flipboard and other apps. On Wednesday, Meta announced that users on Threads will be able to see fediverse replies on other posts besides their own. In addition, posts that originated through the Threads API, like those created via third-party apps and scheduling services, will now be syndicated to the fediverse. The latter had previously been announced via an in-app message informing users that API posts would be shared to the fediverse starting on August 28.”
Daily reminder to defederate from and block
threads.net(and optionally all instances that do not do the same).Defedding from threads always seems strange to me. Everyone says it’s to protect your data from meta. But they can already get your data. Everything on the fediverse is public. They already have your data.
@Dirk @xelar thanks for your view, question: defederating with threads seems reasonable, but why would you defederate “second level” like this? I ask as the instance I’m in decided not to defederate with threads for now and I’m personally OK with that.
Ais defederated from Threads, but federates withB. AndBfederates with Threads. Now Meta can cash out on your data viaB.
