   @eb @CassandraZeroCovid that's not entirely true. You can set your posts to followers-only and choose carefully who sees your posts.

     @CassandraZeroCovid @evan you must have glazed over the part where I said mastodon has next to no privacy. Every post you make is federated to thousands of other servers controlled by thousands of different people. From the web, anybody can get a machine readable feed of your posts without logging in by adding .json or .rss to the end of the url. Almost all data, if Facebook wanted, they could already get

     Can somebody explain why #meta is a threat to the Fediverse? Like I get that they are evil corporate and probably up to no good but if you want all the fediverse data it's incredibly simple to get (just add .rss, .json, setup a ghost instance, or use the API with zero authentication), so no need for this. Plus, I doubt anybody is switching fedi → #threads. Plus, a few might go threads → fedi. AP is lead by passionate people like @evan, so they can't control it. What's in it for evil #facebook?
