It sounds like if I switch servers on Mastodon then I’ll lose my post history. Given that I expect I’ll just stop posting on Mastodon when Threads fediverse integration is done and instead will ask Mastodon users to follow my Threads account.

This actually helps consolidate my text-based social media accounts down to one.

@locksmithprime @carnage4life yes, and nobody trusts them. at all. nobody is happy that they intend to hoover up data, produce ads, train AIs and other stuff people abjectly came to masto to avoid.

also, the relationship is one-way. masto can see threads, threads cant see masto.

so moving to threads means losing the ability to interact with your audience entirely.

How is federating making it any easier to Hoover up data? You can view all this without an account.

@Viss @locksmithprime @carnage4life

How sure are we that some of the instances you’re already federated with aren’t just Meta, OpenAI, or Microsoft hovering up data?

Let’s get real - this stuff is all public.
