Now would be a good time for instance admins to clearly communicate with people on their instances about some things:1. Are they going to block Threads?

2. Are they going to defederate from instances that do not block Threads?

3. When? How much time do people have to move accounts before they potentially lose contact with their friends?

Whatever you plan to do as an admin, please communicate your plan to your instance community.

The sooner, the better. :blobcat:

Threads startet in Europa – echte Konkurrenz fĂŒr X?

Gavin Karlmeier ĂŒber den Start des Twitter-Konkurrenten Threads in Europa

Seit Elon Musk X, frĂŒher Twitter, ĂŒbernommen hat, geht es bergab. Mit Threads startet eine neue Plattform in Europa, mit dem Konkurrent Meta auf Angriff geht.#SozialeMedien #Threads #Meta #Medien

Pourquoi nous n’accueillerons pas Meta dans le fĂ©divers

#Meta a donc annoncĂ© le lancement de #Threads, qui devrait Ă  terme se baser sur #ActvityPub pour ĂȘtre interopĂ©rable avec le reste du fĂ©divers. Le groupe a mĂȘme engagĂ©, sous couvert d’un accord de confidentialitĂ©, des discussions avec quelques-unes des plus grandes instances de #Mastodon. AussitĂŽt, le dĂ©bat a pris au sein de la communautĂ© : faut-il ou non accueillir Meta et Threads dans le fĂ©divers ? Notre rĂ©ponse est non.

L’histoire enseigne que les grandes entreprises privĂ©es du web sont toujours intĂ©ressĂ©es par les technos et les idĂ©es qui les concurrencent. Elles commencent par s’en approcher, par s’interconnecter avec elles, puis elles dĂ©veloppent de nouvelles fonctions qui redĂ©finissent le jeu, avant de le refermer en absorbant tout le monde. Pour fonctionner de maniĂšre Ă©quitable et rĂ©sister Ă  la recentralisation, Ă  la force de gravitation des grands groupes, l’interopĂ©rabilitĂ© doit ĂȘtre formalisĂ©e et encadrĂ©e par des rĂšgles contraignantes, les mĂȘmes pour tous les acteurs.

C’est pourquoi les #GAFAM ne seront pas les bienvenus dans le fĂ©divers tant que l’interopĂ©rabilitĂ© ne sera pas obligatoire et strictement encadrĂ©e.

How Threads’ Privacy Policy Compares to Twitter’s (and Its Rivals’)

Here’s what personal data is collected by Meta’s Threads, as well as by Twitter, Bluesky, Mastodon, Spill, and Hive Social.

https://www.wired.com/story/meta-twitter-threads-bluesky-spill-hive-mastodon-privacy-comparison/

TL;DR Threads is the worst, and Bluesky and Mastodon are best. (Only Twitter, Hive Social, Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon, and Spill are considered.)

#Meta's new #Threads app needs your health and fitness info. It also needs your browsing history and your location, and your purchases, and...well, it seems to need everything. If you want to get fully creeped out, here's the whole #privacy policy: https://privacycenter.instagram.com/policy

Auch wenn jetzt ein Großteil der Leute das #Fediverse verlassen wĂŒrden um zu #Threads und Co zu wechseln, dann wĂ€re hier immer noch doppelt, nein dreifach, so viel los wie 2015 als ich meinem Server aufgesetzt habe. 😜

Threads, Meta’s Twitter rival, is tracking you in all sorts of ways because Meta/Facebook owns it

Bild/Foto
Apart from you apparently not being able to delete your Threads profile, it contains similar metadata spying clauses that the other Meta products do about all sorts of metadata that can be tracked and passed upstream to Facebook and Meta (the reason why I deleted my Instagram and Whatsapp accounts years ago).

We’ve seen before though from Facebook, that it does not stop with “using the information to improve our offerings to you”, and that the information also gets passed to 3rd parties (‘partners’) as well. Meta is also based in a country famed for its data collection.

Your metadata is data collected that is not related to the information you consciously put in your profile, posts, and comments. It includes your location throughout the day, your contacts, WiFi and Bluetooth connections, search history, purchases, when you are active, and importantly specific identifiers for your device (so that this behaviour can be matched to data collected by other ‘partners’). This all starts to build up a pretty valuable profile about your behaviour outside of the app.

I also collect visitor data on my website (and did a video about it showing what I can see), but I use a self-hosted open source service, the data does not get sold or given to anyone, and I only aggregate the data to determine what pages are popular, what search terms are finding my site, etc. I’m not profiling people or selling data to 3rd parties.

So, although I love testing out new social networks (and use about 17 at any time) I won’t be touching Threads. But if you’re a Facebook, Instagram or Whatsapp user, this really won’t interest you much as your data is already sucked in.

I know many in the Fediverse won’t like this, but I will consider reconnecting to some Meta users once Threads gets ActivityPub support. The reason is that all the behaviour side information is safely on a non-Meta app. All Meta will see is who I’m contacting on their side, and what I message to them through the open protocol. There is nothing stopping anyone already doing that through the ActivityPub protocol. However if Meta finds some devious way of inserting adverts (or anything else) into that connection, then I’ll once again isolate myself fully from them.

I’ve long been on Mastodon already as my Twitter alternative, and over the last few months especially it has matured well in terms of a richness of information and news, meaningful interaction, and also working through its moderation controls that you can execute yourself.

Hallo zusammen,

ich brauche mal einen Rat.

Um mit Freunden in Kontakt zu bleiben, die verschiedene Systeme (darunter #Diaspora, #Mastodon und #Threads) verwenden, habe ich mich bei einem #Hubzilla​-Pod angemeldet. Die Verbindung funktioniert aber nur einseitig, also ich kann meinen Diaspora-User zwar auf Hubzilla finden, aber nicht umgekehrt.

Kann mir jemand mir dabei helfen und schauen, was ich da falsch gemacht habe?

Vielen Dank!
