Mastodon.world adminsFYI there is a spam wave going on, signing up accounts with 10 random character usernames, posting something in Japanese with a link to Discord, mentioning random users.

They also tried creating 150 accounts on

Mastodon MigrationIMPORTANT. Threads stated policy is to collect and exploit Fediverse user personal data without explicit consent.
Now is a very good time to review Threads Terms of Use (https://help.instagram.com/769983657850450) and Supplemental Privacy Policy (https://help.instagram.com/515230437301944).
Note just by following a Threads user or replying to a post, Meta claims they are entitled to your personal data.
And what do they say they will do with your data? Provide you with "business services (including ads)."
