They will never have enough data about you.
They will always ask for more.
That's how they feed the billionaires.
Leave and delete corporate social media.
Before they eat you whole.

Threads shows this if you use "bad words" in your post. Well, fuck you. F-bombs are harmless these days, compared to the bigger picture. People are dying, we are allowed to be angry.
I'm glad I can express anger, joy, or any human emotion, and use profanity freely here in the Fediverse.

Marky Mark still hasn't updated the old Threads.net domain in the #Fediverse to the new Threads.com
Guess his superintelligence wasn't up to the challenge 🤖
On a side note: If #Meta wants a product to be "cool", @zuck should not wear it! 😎

"Threads, however, supports ActivityPub. Users on Threads can choose to share their posts with other Activity Pub servers, including Mastodon." – Well, only if the instance and/or end user decides so.
Surprised the article doesn't mention the absence of algorithm and advertising in the Fediverse. Imho it's a good selling point.

For a moment, I thought it would be nice to see something like this for the Fediverse, and it wouldn't even be that hard to build. But then I remembered... why would we want this? What are we trying to prove here? This kind of app is made for "influencers."

In a wide-ranging interview with Eugen Rochko, creator of the decentralized social network Mastodon, Rochko shared why Threads federation fell flat, why ActivityPub and ATProto will likely never merge, and what it will take to grow the fediverse.

Competing against #Pixelfed was not enough as @threads now seeks to dominate the podcast arena.
👉🏾 #Threads Launches New Feature to Attract Podcast Fans https://www.entrepreneur.com/business-news/threads-launches-new-feature-to-attract-podcast-fans/501240
This is a good sign for podcasting #Fediverse apps like @Castopod, #WordPress (as well as @wordpressdotcom), @ghost, #MicroDotBlog, @peertube, etcetera, as it means more people are interested in listening to & creating podcasts.
I think professional podcasters will opt to use their own sites instead of relying on #Meta.
