Threads' New Terms & Conditions Affects the Fediverse
wedistribute.org
Threads, Meta's new microblogging platform, is updating its terms to focus on data collection from "Third Party Users".

This shouldn’t come as a huge surprise. Meta is moving forward with their plans for Theads and the Fediverse, and their adjusted terms reflect a new impending reality for Fediverse users.

      No idea how it works for Mastodon, but for Lemmy they will have the IP of the server, nothing else is available and they can’t magically get it.

        I wouldn’t put it past them to put tracking images into posts though. Either way… I wouldn’t be happy on a server that is connected to threads.

        Speaking of which… I see lemmy world see still hasn’t defederated from Threads. I guess it’s time for me to kill my account here.

            I might end up using a personal instance as well. But in that case I’ll probably end up with an instance whitelist, rather than defederating from disliked ones.

              I’m currently defederated from only 2 instances. You would be unable to have this discussion with me if you went your way, unless you whitelisted all those mini-instances and regularly checked for new ones.

                Ah, bummer. I thought I’d be in the clear because we’re having this conversation on Lemmy.ml. Thanks for straightening me out.

                  No, defederating also blocks you from seeing the comments and posts of users of those instances, no matter where the communities are. That is literally the only reason for my 2 defederated instances so far (hexbear and lemmygrad) because I got sick of all the fascist comments.

                    Does that mean that the only way of stopping my data from reaching Threads would be for them to defederate from my instance?
