I know that many people are concerned about “Threads” privacy policy and are all screaming “WE WILL BLOCK THREADS”. I honestly can’t see how it’s going to gather any personal information since Lemmy, mastodon etc. doesn’t collect any information at all. Like, how can you gather information about user, if he doesn’t have any information about himself. Sure, Threads will collect info about its users, that’s obvious, but I think it’s a bad idea to just block it from the start
This place will 100% self implode in a few weeks without a commercial entity or a non profit stepping up.
There needs to be a monthly fee to pay for mods and hosting. But it won’t happen because of the posts you mention. Privacy zealots will kill this place.
The bitching you reference is idiots without a plan bitching because they can.
…what the fuck are you talking about? How much does Meta pay you? If this place implodes then it’s simply onto the next one. It’s my data, it’s not free, and I can choose who I give it to. That’s not novel or extreme… ? When someone is spying on you, you have a right to do what it takes to eliminate that activity.
