@gulovsen I see the reverse. This is a huge opportunity.
“Threads or Mastodon” is a false dilemma for Masto users. People on the fediverse are less likely to jump solely to Threads.
On the flip side, a lot of Threads users saw the beta announcement and said “what the heck is the fediverse?” They received good answers from people like @evan. If they’ve entered the beta, they can see engagement from the fediverse, but they just get a notification that says “someone liked this on the fediverse.”
There’s a huge opportunity for free advertising. Every like of a threads.net account is a ping to someone who probably isn’t here, and they need to start a fedi account to experience the fediverse fully since Threads is just sending one way traffic.
Also, given I’ve seen my threads post take 7-30 minutes to pop up here, and the verification seems to be buggy, incremental integration seems necessary.
@kevinrns@jgilbert It’s worth pointing out the Supreme Court has created a 3rd party exception to the 4th amendment.
If you give information to a 3rd party - be it a bank, a teleco, Facebook, or an app that tracks cycles - a warrant isn’t required to search that information, at least as far as the US Constitution is concerned.
@ArisuGunpla@aral@boyter Oh, what a person creates or publishes on social media is definitely owned by them, unless the service requires them to surrender their IP rights. An author’s copyright to a work begins at the creation of the work.
That’s why instances based in the US need to affirmatively create a DMCA contact to avoid liability for copyright infringement should one of their users violate someone’s copyright.
The other day I woke up convinced I screwed up the last problem on the #Evidence final. I was suddenly, absolutely sure that the statement wasn't offered for the truth of the matter asserted.
(The statement *was* offered for its truth and it advanced the conspiracy.)
Nothing like an early morning, post-finals panic attack.
