  • Warning: lemmy.world just got hacked

    Jump

  • They changed root folder / frontpage, if you access lemmy.world from web browser you'll be redirected somewhere

    However, you still can access lemmy.world through applications

  • It's so much easier to comment on Lemmy because it isn't a toxic cesspool waiting to tear you apart

  • Also, there's no algorithm promoting outrage all the time.

    Here's why, there's no algorithm to promote certain posts unlike twitter, facebook, youtube etc

  • They have no power here even if we federate with them.

    The current matter with Meta is that they have bad intentions towards the fediverse

    And even if you don't have Threads app installed, Meta is also a privacy threat to fediverse users. If there are fediverse instances that are still federated with Meta.

    Ross Schulman, senior fellow for decentralization at digital rights nonprofit the Electronic Frontier Foundation, notes that if Threads emerges as a massive player in the fediverse, there could be concerns about what he calls “social graph slurping." Meta will know who all of its users interact with and follow within Threads, and it will also be able to see who its users follow in the broader fediverse. And if Threads builds up anywhere near the reach of other Meta platforms, just this little slice of life would give the company a fairly expansive view of interactions beyond its borders.

  • How does an app like Threads get access to financial, political, health, religious or browsing info through your phone's OS. What is the actual source of that data?

  • No one realised or really cared until the Cambridge Analytica scandal happened, what makes me furious is that this is still happening today. Millions of people joined Threads, even Rochko's statement on the mastodon blog tends to embrace Meta.

    While other mastodon admins declined Meta's invitation

    Threads app itself is a privacy nigtmare

    and YSK : Because of Threads app that makes Meta a threat to the privacy of fediverse users, if there are fediverse instances that remain federated with Meta.
