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.

Look at all that personal info they will be collecting. #Threads is owned by #Instagram, which is in turn owned by #Facebook's parent company, #Meta. See where this is going?

@iuculano @darnell @darnell @dansup I don't think that's #Meta 's motivation, actually; the #Fediverse universe is just a drop in their giant data bucket.

Not defending them. They have other objectives

And until now, we have no clue as to what they are. Just the fact they seek so much data off us is what I find off-putting
