Fediverse
A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.
Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".
Getting started on Fediverse;
- What is the fediverse?
- Fediverse Platforms
- How to run your own community
So they'll grab what is needed to federate? The same stuff every instance grabs?
Can someone please explain why this matters. Almost all madtadon instances are public and can be data mined by any company. Why is it such a large concern if threads is able to see a portion of the posts on the fediverse like any other mastadon instance. To me the only thing threads federation changes is allowing me to view posts on threads without the amount of MS my cursor is over the podt being data mined to know what food Ill be craving in a week.
There seems to be a general consesnus that feddiverse users don't want anything to do with meta and that instances will defederate with threads. I'm curious if the majority will follow this trend to avoid yet another EEE, or if there will be some exceptions. I bet meta will be open to pay good money to instance admins for "colaboration" if the instance is big enough.
Yep. If “world” doesn’t defederate from Threads l am going to main another instance
Like tentacles of a blood sucking octopus...
Wouldnt the name of your profile be more specific than your ip address so it doesnt matter if they get your ip address or not?
Also, why would they store the data? They cant show you ads
I think the policy has more to do with your server's IP address. The language on the page is a bit vague, since they absolutely collect the IP addresses of their own users.
So if I read this right, no big deal as long as you don't interact with threads stuff on the fediverse?
Correct. Though interaction also means, a Threads user following you or replying to one of your comments or posts.
