  • Can someone give me an easy to understand example of what they are proposing? Assume that I don’t allow them to install any software/tool that helps them track me/my device.

    I saw this comment and found it helpful but its still not clear to me

    At its core, it establishes software components called “attesters” that decide whether your device and/or browser is “trustworthy” enough - as defined by the website you are trying to visit. Websites can enforce which “attesters” users must accept, simply by denying everybody access who refuses to bow down to this regime; or who uses attesters that are deemed “inappropriate”; or who is on a platform that does not provide any attesters the website finds “acceptable”.

    In short: it is specifically designed to destroy the open web by denying you the right to use whatever browser you want to use, on whatever operating system. It is next-level “DRM”, introduced by affiliates of a company that already has monopolized the browser market. And the creators of this “proposal” absolutely know what they are attempting here.















  • You made me realise I asked the wrong question. It’s all about Threads. I updated the title and my question. Thank you

    As seen on my other comments, I want Lemmy to grow so we can have diverse communities and diverse viewpoints. Why would Threads users join Lemmy if they can just subscribe to instances federating with them. That is why I don’t want to post on instances federating with Threads anymore

    I also don’t want Threads to benefit from my posts/comments

    Would you still post to lemmy.world or you would create another community on lemmy.ml where Threads is blocked, if you were in my case?
