    I agree, any fediverse servers that remain federated with Meta servers, they are helping Meta to collect your data.

    Remember, the Threads app itself is a privacy nightmare.

        Yeah, and I suppose how long you read a post is public too? I mean, meta can see that information, and you’re not hiding it offline or anything, so they should just be able to sell it too why not. And your search history. That’s… public too. Your personal contacts for your friends and family on your phone, thats wide open public information right. Also any health information you log in your phone. Public info.

        Is everything human beings do public info? Should we make our houses out of glass while we’re at it, and record every human beings entire life on audio and video so that mega corporations can sell any information gathered?

          Is this just fear mongering roleplay at this point? They literally can’t get any of that from your fedi clients. That’s just straight up false. If you’re in their client then no shit lol, but we’re obviously not talking about that.

          Privacy is not a feature of the fediverse, so rid yourself of that notion right now. Every time you post something hundreds of various ActivityPub instances hoover up every bit of data they can, and you have no control over it anymore. Big corporations don’t have to be transparent about it, they’re already sitting on copies of that data, I promise you.

          If you think your fediverse data fits into the same category as your search history, contact lists, and medical info, you fundamentally don’t understand how to manage your privacy online.
