Comment on Meta just showed off Threads’ fediverse integration for the very first time
Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 6 months agoThat’s not at all what I’m talking about.
There’s a reason you can subscribe to commmunities you’re interested in and block the ones you’re not. It’s so that you can curate your feed to reflect your personal interests which vary between individuals.
When it comes to what you’re talking about; you’re free to block threads.net instance yourself or you can choose an instance that does it for you. They’re getting access to your your lemmy content either way.

Already done.
That’s not an argument for cooperating with them.
But it’s what matters, and it is what the person you originally replied to was talking about. Whether I personally see Threads stuff does not relate to whether Meta can and will create an inflection point that distorts the fediverse into something different than it is today. Nothing in their history points in any direction OTHER than - we’ll all be making another exodus at some to get away from them and companies like them.

You’re free to not federate with them but due to the open nature of the fediverse there’s nothing you can do to stop them from federating with you. What ever you post they have access to.
Still. This has nothing to do with what I was talking about.

Federation doesn’t mean “can scrape your data”
OK.

They can scape your post history. Anyone can. You can only prevent this by not postin.
