The problems I've seen mentioned regarding Threads have less to do with harvesting data and more to do with EEE

what about regulation problem

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can you please elaborate? I'm not sure I know what you mean (and I'd like to).

does fediverse get affected by regulations meant for companies like facebook

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 2 years ago

Also a valid question!

The problems have to do with people not liking Meta. I'm getting an increasingly strong feeling that the goalposts shall be placed wherever they are needed.

Which I suppose explains the tonal whiplash of going from people raging that not enough people were defederating from Meta to raging that Meta is defederating from the usual suspects in less time than it took to get through the Christmas leftovers.

Not that I particularly like Meta. All social media was a mistake, if you ask me. But still.

I thought it was because of the troubled history of these big corporations either destroying or exploiting every project, app, or platform they get their claws into.

But you're telling me that people just randomly dislike Meta for no reason, so I guess you must be right that they have no good reason to do so /s

spoilerBut seriously, how much are they paying you lot? I don't think anyone is actually buying your bullshit, and I could use the money...
