Definitely not. I didn’t come to the Fediverse to be under social media companies again.

Never. Fuck Meta. Fuck Zuckerberg.

no definitely not installing it or opening an account.

I’m not against federation tho, I’d be in favour of showing people you can get all the same content through another channel. defederating means that people will have to use it if there’s content from someone they like on there. I don’t want to give people a reason to install that shit.

Thanks to @m0bi13 who posted this breakdown for context :

Oh fuck no. The very first line is basically a HIPAA violation. It gets worse from there. We require less disclosure from Supreme Court Justices and Presidential nominees.

This is a trainwreck waiting to happen - even if Facebook itself doesn’t abuse this level of power, you know that bad actors within the organization will. And once the information is collected, you know that tyrannical governments all over the world will be falling over themselves to get access to the data. This is a stalker’s wetdream, an Orwellian orgasm of truly grotesque proportions.

Keep the Fediverse from Zucking. Just say no to Threads.
