Threads’ roadmap for integrations with the fediverse, aka the network of decentralized apps that includes Twitter/X rival Mastodon and others, has been revealed. A new blog post by Tom Coates, the co-founder of an older decentralized app called Planetary, details the events of a December meeting at Meta’s offices where the Threads team had reached out to members of the fediverse community to get feedback about the Instagram-led project to take on X with a decentralized app that will eventually interoperate with others in the fediverse by way of the ActivityPub protocol.

      Don’t post on the internet. If you think Meta doesn’t also crawl the web the old school way like Google also does to train AI and such, you’re seriously out of touch with reality.

        normie centrist take. support privacy oriented organizations and politicians. ask your instance to block threads and if they don’t, move to one that works for you and your safety. giving up and being okay with billionaires playing fuck-all with your data at no cost is playing right into their hands.

        Giving them your own data legally and that they illegally fetch your data is not same.

            So why the New York Times sued OpenAI? There are multiple cases regarding this. Why do online and public platforms feel entitled to sue AI companies (according to you)?

            If OpenAI and NYT were 2 news sites in the fediverse and had the ability to share their news with each other; I’m sure NYT couldn’t file such a lawsuit.

                That’s the difference I’m trying to explain. If you give them, you have no right. If they do it themselves, then you can at least sue.

                It’s like I stop locking my door because there’s a chance burglars could break into my house and steal things at any time.

          no there are levels of privacy when you make a post on mastodon. public, unlisted, followers only, and only people mentioned.

          unlisted opts out of discovery like the public timelines
