I really want to nip threads in the bud. Besides blocking threads.net itself, defederate from any instances that do not. This is blatantly an EEE strategy and a united front is the only way to save what have been accomplished. Here is how Indivudals can do it on mastodont as an example to follow. https://hachyderm.io/@crowgirl/110663465238573628 Edit found this , https://fedipact.online/ please sign.

Privacy is not a feature of the fediverse, so rid yourself of that notion right now. Every time you post something hundreds of various ActivityPub instances hoover up every bit of data they can, and you have no control over it anymore. Big corporations don't have to be transparent about it, they're already sitting on copies of that data, I promise you.

If you think your fediverse data fits into the same category as your search history, contact lists, and medical info, you fundamentally don't understand how to manage your privacy online.

So, you're going off for no reason about nothing, the commenter i was responding to was responding to a comment about meta's new app and all the information it outright tells you it is harvesting and selling from you.
