While I agreed those who do not want federation with Threads should leave (me included), lemmy.world has not bent any knee. The admin is taking a wait and see approach, and willing to block if it turns out bad
Did it migrate all your posts/comments/saved items? It looks like just subscriptions
If settings does not work for you, try an app like Memmy: https://apps.apple.com/au/app/memmy-for-lemmy/id6450204299
They seems to really embrace open social media. I have a couple of questions to see what their true intension is. It is assumed that they would federate with fediverse soon (plenty of reports of that already)
- Would they support 3rd party apps to browse their contents without ads/tracking? I do not mind paying if true
- If I do not agree with how they moderate/treat users, can I move somewhere else (aka another Threads instance)? Can another Threads instance even be set up independently or they are the only player
- Would they contribute their improvements on Threads to ActivityPub (after thorough community review of course)?
- What contributions have they made so far to fediverse?
All I want to see is if they should be considered a member of the fediverse and play by the rules that all other members follow. the answer would make the decision around federation/defederation easy
Edit:typo and added the last paragraph
There are under the hood data that is not displayed on the site which they can scrap. FB would be broke if they only rely on the FB posts alone without all the tracking everywhere. Even your movement on the screen or where you pause on the page are tracked.
So no they dont get all the data unless we federate them.
Lovely resource to help people decide for themselves
At least governments/any essential services around the world should
First of all, a big thank you to @ruud@lemmy.world and team for building such a good place for us to hang out. You guys rock!
I am interested to see your opinion on the recently launched Threads from meta, specially around possible federation/defederation in the future
Some instance owners are open to federation, some takes wait and see approach, while some will block them outright as seen on https://fedipact.online/
Its your choice as instance owner to do that
Visit https://fedipact.online/ to see a list of instance owners who will defederate their instance from Threads
Heads up: its a long list
Thats the nice thing about fediverse. People with different opinions can co-exist and they have freedom to choose what they want
Big enough is nice but I’d rather have a small community without anything to do with the big tech.
I doubt people joining small instances would miss any content from FB/Instagram/Threads/Twitter
The content on reddit is huge but I cut the tie and happier with Lemmy.
There are certain apps I must use, for example banking or Notion. I can already block them from using location/contacts/photos…
I just wanted to see if other like browsing history/purchase history can be blocked
Hopefully something similar will be developed for lemmy
it will collect a wide variety of data from users, including health, financial information, browsing histories, location, purchases, contacts, search history and sensitive information.
How do you block an app from accessing browsing/search history/purchase?
Post with text AND link does not show link in Memmy at the moment. It has been reported here https://lemmy.world/post/1022041
Thanks for your reply. Your version is much easier to understand. No offence to the OP but it was my comprehension
Great idea. I was trying to figure out if it was lemmy.world trying to deal with new users or a bug with Memmy app that caused random errors
Is it possible to have the lag metrics by instances in a table format? Its so hard to view your site on mobile
How did you migrate between instance?
Thanks for sharing. It is exactly what I was looking for. Keep up the good work
