Threads by Instagram will launch on July 6th (thanks for the heads up @dansup!) & I noticed Meta collects a lot of data. So much data!

Threads is rumored to adopt ActivityPub later on (in October maybe‽ We will see), but when it joins the Fediverse (if not on launch day), it’s data collection policies will make it easier to convince some (but not all) to migrate over to Misskey, Pixelfed, Mastodon & Pleroma.

Note: Uploading on Misskey as my Mastodon account @darnell is being fixed server side right now.

I'm not completely sure how to sort this. I'm a techie but on the front end side. Are they able to pull in this data from instances federated with them and from users who respond/comment on Threads?

I'm not sure how big I can type HELL NO if that's the case.

One of the issues is that they can't pre-categorise the content they may access, as it is user supplied. So that have to say to say it may include the highest levels of Health, Financial and Sensitive.
