@nileane @theLUCASTDS I do believe federation should be opt-out and not opt-in, and am advocating as such, for this exact reason.

@prime Huh, I remember Raptr! I didn’t know it shut down, completely forgot about its existence. I guess Steam replaced it for most.

My wife is looking forward to deleting her Instagram account once she can connect with the same folks from her Mastodon account. Being able to remain in touch with over 100M people who still use Meta products out of the comfort of an ad-free, privacy-friendly platform like Mastodon is a game changer.

@chris Do you have a separate account on mastodon.online? Because you're responding from mstdn.games and we're not testing anything there.

@marino @mosseri Those are his followers on Threads.

@tay This is already answered in the post. Server-level and personal domain blocks behave the exactly same way when it comes to fetching and delivering content.

If for whatever reason you never wish to interact with #Threads, you can personally block it for your account. This hides all posts and profiles from Threads, prevents anyone from Threads from following you, and stops your posts from being delivered to or fetched by Threads. Simply click the "Block domain threads.net" option on any Threads profile or post you see in Mastodon.

@mastodonmigration @rexum Personal data usually carries a slightly different meaning than a public profile and posts you choose to broadcast to the open web, and the way this entire thread is written is highly misleading in a disappointing way.

@rexum @mastodonmigration That would be pointless. You would simply unfollow the user.

@rexum @mastodonmigration I think you misunderstood something at some point. The only people who might see ads are people who use the Threads app. There is no way for Threads to show an ad outside of Threads.

@mastodonmigration No, that is not a concern, because there is no capability for the fediverse user to get ads on other platforms connected to them in any way. It is also an extremely bog standard, matter of fact privacy policy. Ours does not look much different.

@rexum @mastodonmigration How? For what reason?

@mastodonmigration So theoretically a Threads user might see an ad about honey because they follow a user from beekeepers.ninja.

@carnage4life Absolutely predictable consequence of server operators preemptively blocking Threads. People will either migrate to larger servers that don't, or to Threads altogether. I would hate to see you leave Mastodon even if you were still in my home feed through Threads, simply because I believe Mastodon is the better platform. I hope it doesn't come to it.

@mastodonmigration Your username, profile picture, and domain and IP of your server are public and every Mastodon server out there does absolutely the same thing.

@apitman @mosseri Requests need to be signed.

@Josie Don't opt in to "Feature profile and posts in discovery algorithms" on the Privacy and reach page.

@andreagrandi It’s been around for a while. It pops up if you scroll away from a video that’s still playing.
