Meta announced that users on Threads will be able to see fediverse replies on other posts besides their own. In addition, posts that originated through the Threads API, like those created via third-party apps and scheduling services, will now be syndicated to the fediverse.
It’s not just a matter of blocking Threads users.
Facebook is coming on here to slurp up data I don’t want them to have, and enriching their own Threads ecosystem with Fediverse content they haven’t lifted a finger to create.
Not to mention, when Threads users are able to fully interact in the Fediverse, do you really want that particular bunch to create noise in your communities? I don’t. There’s a reason why I avoid Facebook in all its forms.
Uh… this fediverse stuff is all on the public internet. Facebook could be slurping it up just as easily without joining at all.
It doesn’t matter. People will never understand the difference between the open web and walled gardens.
People say they want freedom, but in reality they want to become little tyrants. We’ve been asking for years to have a level-up playing field, and now that we do these reactionaries are going to find something else about it.
Definitely not as easily and 100% not legally. I actually don’t think they would scrape stuff off of the fediverse like that because that is just a lawsuit waiting. Besides, scraping is really not feasible when it comes to getting information like that.
right but if I block their instance, they can never interact with me and vice versa.
Aw, buddy, cheer up.
Here’s some minions memes doing racist things! I mean, I assume thats what goes on if you’re on facebook.
