   @mcg @packy @doot I'm not sure what that has to do with federating or defederating, because what the Threads app may or may not collect from its users has exactly sod all to do with what they may or may not be *able* to collect from some random on a completely different server.

     @packy @doot It is unacceptable to be called that for sure. But that screenshot shows that, Meta has not changed. As evil as a Masto admin wants to be, they won’t be able to read your current location or your health data on your device. This is a distinction.

     @mcg @doot Of course. But much of the posting of that screenshot has the flavour of "See? If we allow Meta to federate, this is the information they'll be collecting from all of us, not just the posts that can be anonymously fetched via our instances' web interfaces anyway".

     I'm just tired of being told that because I don't want every Fediverse instance to fediblock Meta on principal it makes me a Nazi.

     @doot Agree, but in the case of the Threads app vs Fedi apps, it’s a lot more invasive from on device data collection.
