Why are you so hard for Zucc?
You've got a bunch of comments defending an app that literally has more data collection than my doctor....
Things might go bad with federation with Meta and Meta is indeed loathsome and has an awful history and present of being a bad actor — but responding to "You all are operating on emotion" with the bad faith emotional ad hominem response "Why are you so hard for Zucc?" is kind of proving the point.
I think there's lots of good arguments around being wary of Meta and defederating (and some good ones in favour of wait and see) but the level of discourse around this issue on here is really not great and too much attacking others (and it's not just you — the post you're responding to as well was rude too with "you clearly don't have a clue what you're talking about"). The absolutist way people are talking and treating people who have other perspectives has made me feel much less positive about the potential for good discourse and community on this platform.
I'm not defending the app. I have friends on Threads and I want to be able to interact with them without handing my life story over to zuck.
Uhh... what?
I'm defending users being able to make these decisions for themselves. If you want to be on an instance that 'pre-emptively' blocks corporations, lemmy.ml might be better for you than lemmy.world.
This thread is full of children who think that because they don't like something then neither should anyone else.
Oh boy, more 'data collection' nonsense. Hey brother. Have you, personally, ever written a bot? If you did, you'd know how trivial it is for anyone to collect anything posted on lemmy.
This is exactly you. You don't like the idea of blocking Facebook and are being combative and douchey to anyone who disagrees. Your dislikes are in the toilet and you are as free to leave .world as anyone else.
