My wife is looking forward to deleting her Instagram account once she can connect with the same folks from her Mastodon account. Being able to remain in touch with over 100M people who still use Meta products out of the comfort of an ad-free, privacy-friendly platform like Mastodon is a game changer.

@Gargron But that's for Threads, not Intagram, right?

@sepfeiffer @Gargron Yes, but to delete Instagram I guess she needs connection to Instagram too. And Facebook only get it for Threads noe.

@Gargron have they said they are going to federate more than #threads? Facebook would be cool...

@Gargron@mastodon.social Being able to remain in touch with over 100M people who still use Meta products out of the comfort of an ad-free, privacy-friendly platform like Mastodon is a game changer.That will inherently render the Fediverse non-privacy-friendly. You're exchanging your privacy and security for convenience. You're opening up the Fediverse to be a data-mining extension of Meta.

@didek @sepfeiffer @Gargron AFAIK you need an Instagram account to use Threads.

I hope that an organization as massive as Meta adopting #ActivityPub will send a signal that pushes Tumblr and other platforms that have been considering it over the edge in doing the same. Perhaps even Bluesky would consider replacing or at least supplementing their custom protocol with the @w3c standard for interoperability.

@fixatedpersonsunit @Gargron That's literally the same information every #Mastodon instance collects when you interact with its users. If another site can't collect/store account-identifying info, it can't manage interactions like follows and blocks! You're overreacting to the fact that #Threads has a more accurate Terms of Service than any other federated site.

@bauser @fixatedpersonsunit @Gargron Nope.Getting that data and collecting it are two separate activities, one just so happens to rely on the other. They're talking about collecting it.PII includes IP addresses, which means even logging IPs without prior informed consent is a GDPR violation, because logging constitutes collection.But you can't not *get* IPs, so that's fine, until you store them.

@jens @fixatedpersonsunit @Gargron They're collecting the IP address of "the third-party service on which you are registered." If I interact with #Threads through #Mastodon, they're not collecting *my* IP address, they're collecting the Mastodon server's IP address.

@bauser @fixatedpersonsunit @Gargron "we collect information about your account and profile".

@jens @bauser @fixatedpersonsunit @Gargron they have to, don’t they? That’s how Mastodon servers work. Not sure how you could interact with profiles without any information. Maybe I’m misunderstanding your concern.

@john @jens @bauser @Gargron My concern is Meta getting any data. Don't block all their malicious buttons for shits and gigglesKeeping Meta out of your business is a chore and it really shouldn't be, especially for those who want nothing to do with itThe Euros are lucky to have their GDPR (and thank you that it's caused changes in behaviour globally) but we Australians are left hanging in the privacy wind

@john @bauser @fixatedpersonsunit @Gargron Ah, well, here the ToS are vague enough that it can be just enough information to interact, or significantly more.But again, there's a difference between getting and collecting data. You get a remote user's identifier with e.g. a reply they make to a threads account. There is no need to retrieve more. There certainly is no need to store this outside of the received reply.
