That would be a shame. Why shouldn't I be able to directly tell Mark to go fuck himself without going anywhere near his software?

[–] FaceDeer@kbin.social 4 points 9 months ago

Why can't you do that? Use one of the many non-Threads servers to do it. Like Kbin, the one you're already using. Nothing about it changes if Threads federates.

Because i don't want him to even know i exist...

And you are getting into his software, your stuff gets federated and they are likely to try and federate ads into the cloud.

If you want to stay private, probably avoid a networking protocol like ActivityPub that inherently relies on essentially everything being public

I want to stay as far away from Facebook as possible, my actual private data is safe because the login stuff doesn't get federated and there isn't much of it.

I don't mean to alarm you, but Meta can see this post even if Threads doesn't federate.

I mean obviously, but why gift it to them on a silver plate?

[–] FaceDeer@kbin.social 2 points 9 months ago

Why not? It's no different as far as Meta is concerned, it only inconveniences us.
