Sounds like some changes should be made to the Lemmy software then if anyone can just connect and start pulling out private data about me.
Mastodon doesn't have that problem. I connect to my server and my server talks to Meta. Meta doesn't get to see any of my private info. Just the stuff I make public.
What a huge piece of FUD this is. Threads is already way larger then the Fediverse is. They don't need to come here and try and take users.
You are afraid that Meta will hoard the content and users from the Fediverse but they are already doing that. Threads doesn't connect now so it's all there's. Why would they connect to just disconnect later? Why is the answer to being afraid of getting disconnected in the future to never connect? This makes no sense. It's complete fear mongering.
You're right. It's all FUD at this point. There's nothing stopping servers from federating for now and then disconnecting later if an actual issue comes up.
This is an absolutely awful take. Can you imagine if you had this approach with email? You wouldn't let your email server connect to a Gmail server or any other email server that connected to a Gmail server. That's insane and email becomes worthless.
