Not more than it is now. Everything is already public so if they need it, they’ve already been collecting it. This doesn’t really change anything.
And it’s how federation is supposed to work. Either you want to send your content to other instances or you don’t. But federation is the wrong tool if you want to stay alone. You can defederate and block them if you don’t like their terms.
Couldn’t instances or accounts just license their content? Like would it be legally binding if I write in my profile that all the content I wrote here is licensed under a specific CC license?
It aleady has been. Anything, anything publicly posted and available will be harvested by, at a minimum, Google spiders. The only privacy benefits of any site can only be promises that they won’t share the information that you don’t publicly list.
And even then,.all it takes is the feds raiding a dipshit Kolektiva admin to get that information illegally anyways.
Do not organize serious actions over social media. At most, hold sensitive discussions over private, E2E encrypted chats like Matrix.
Will be interesting to see how they deal with nazis and CSAM from all the Japanese servers.
This is just posts on Threads being pushed out to Mastodon.
Still no way to publish to Threads users from outside the walled garden.
Let’s not, okay? I don’t want corpo shit in my free fediverse.
@DmMacniel Just be on instance that is defederated from them, done
That doesn’t actually fix the issue. If Facebook is trying to set itself up like Chrome with the webplatform, or GTalk with XMPP, then they will drive the feature set of ActivityPub, whether you’re federated with them or not.
Hypothetical example:
Want to see this picture/video from someone on Threads? You need Facebook’s proprietary picture format, which has DRM baked in it. Even if you don’t federate, Mastodon, Lemmy, etc now have to take energy away from their work to adopt the proprietary picture format. It depends on the proportion Threads takes on the network and how they can leverage that position to put pressure.
Threads currently has voice notes. Should all ActivityPub services support that? If so, do we adhere to Threads’ standard or not?
They don’t have to take energy to adopt the format. You do realise that current ActivityPub services don’t support all services and features of the other platforms? You realise a great deal of Fediverse utilises Mastodon’s implementation of AP? So a lot of what people are worried about Threads doing has already been done by Mastodon.
No, only the people I like are allowed to play on this public playground…
But it won’t matter once Lemmy brings in instance blocking for users.
no it won’t. yall dont read.
Anyone know of kbin or Lemmy instances that will insta de-federate from anything meta?
Edit: missed the ‘de’
Assuming you meant de-federate, there are a few listed on https://fedipact.online/ that seem to be lemmy instances.
