About us

๐Ÿค— Thanks for joining our little instance here, located in Oregon. The idea is to have a fast, stable instance and allow users to subscribe to whatever content they want from here.

๐Ÿ˜Ž We dont block any other instances. We will keep it that way unless it becomes a moderation problem.

๐Ÿค  We will be around for a very long time, so you dont have to worry about us shutting down the instance anytime soon. We like performance and stability in our servers, and will upgrade the instance when its needed.

๐Ÿฅน Make sure to join a lot of remote communities to get a good feed going. How to do that is explained here.

Threads new 'Supplemental Privacy Policy' (Instagram link) says they'll collect (from fediverse users interacting with Threads users):

  • Username
  • Profile Picture
  • IP Address
  • Name of Third Party Service
  • Posts from profile
  • Post interactions (Follow, Like, Reshare, Mentions)

From the linked article:

"Granted, these sound like basic table stakes for federation to work well within the Fediverse. Most Mastodon servers collect roughly about the same amount of data for basic features to work correctly. But again, Meta is first and foremost an advertising and data harvesting company..."

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.

Threads, Meta's new microblogging platform, is updating its terms to focus on data collection from "Third Party Users".
