@paprikapink @MaJ1 @HistoPol @OlDude82 @si_irini @mina @evelynefoerster @theropologist Absolutely don't disagree with anything you've said, I'm just trying to stay away from a lot of the misinformation that's been flying around recently. To your original analogy, 100% and in the same thread you close your curtains (I certainly do!) when I'm getting changed for privacy I don't brick up my windows.

  @paprikapink @MaJ1 @HistoPol @OlDude82 @si_irini @mina @evelynefoerster @theropologist We absolutely need to be mindful of what we are sharing and for what purpose, given Mastodon and the fedi as a whole has a very low bar for identity, we are at an advantage here and I think that flexibility combined with folks as a whole starting to understand the importance of their privacy online is great.

  @paprikapink @MaJ1 @HistoPol @OlDude82 @si_irini @mina @evelynefoerster @theropologist We do however need to make sure we as a whole are being careful what we share and that is aligned with our original risk. I personally don't mind using my name and picture and it being linkable back to other online identities but I understand the risks and drawbacks that brings. But I am a techy.

  @paprikapink @MaJ1 @HistoPol @OlDude82 @si_irini @mina @evelynefoerster @theropologist A lot of the issue with Threads that I see is the lack of understanding of what's actually happening from that tech perspective and the difference (or lack there of) from defederation. It doesn't stop that info being very public and it doesn't stop meta or anyone else scraping it.

  @paprikapink @MaJ1 @HistoPol @OlDude82 @si_irini @mina @evelynefoerster @theropologist For me the fact I know they are wanting to federate at least means I know they are storing my data. They could have much cheaper and without much effort have gathered all the fedi data without any of us ever knowing, and it's those groups / companies that I'm concerned by. The chatgpt scrapers of the world.

  @paprikapink @MaJ1 @HistoPol @OlDude82 @si_irini @mina @evelynefoerster @theropologist I'm super fortunate to get enough monthly in donations to cover the infrastructure and hosting costs for my instances, but they don't cover any of my time or my mods time, but everyone will still expect that high quality of service the traditional social gives you. Unfortunately we can't have both in this world.

  @paprikapink @MaJ1 @HistoPol @OlDude82 @si_irini @mina @evelynefoerster @theropologist And I 100% agree about these spaces. And as someone who runs one (and am not a billionaire by any stretch of the imagination) I appreciate the value to myself and to this community. It is however an area in general that we (humans) aren't used to and don't really understand.
