I know that many people are concerned about “Threads” privacy policy and are all screaming “WE WILL BLOCK THREADS”. I honestly can’t see how it’s going to gather any personal information since Lemmy, mastodon etc. doesn’t collect any information at all. Like, how can you gather information about user, if he doesn’t have any information about himself. Sure, Threads will collect info about its users, that’s obvious, but I think it’s a bad idea to just block it from the start

    when they leech as many people to their platform as they can from the rest of the Fediverse

    That’s users’ fault. Whose responsibility is it if I go to Threads? Is it mine, or is it Meta’s? It’s supposed that we, users, are mature enough to know where is our place and where we’re treated better, as users, as humans, and as data owners. If someone from Mastodon or another place decides to go to Threads, it’s their fault (that someone’s fault).
