Really its just devolving into a fascinating experiment in how much momentum it requires people to leave a platform en masse in 2023.

Well nothing probably. I think Instagram collects as much as threads does. My point was just that if you're only on lemmy or mastodon or whatever, you won't have to worry about the data they're collecting from their own users.

I've seen so many people that want to defederate from Threads because they're scared it will get their personal data somehow. Just goes to show that not a lot of people understand how this technology works yet. The only data threads will see is the stuff you post publicly.

 

E.g. If I were to share an image of a doggo on lemmy.world and then people from sh.itjust.works upvote it, will it count those upvotes? The answer to this one seems pretty easy to reason that it would be yes.

But what about if i'm on lemmy.world and am subscribed to !awesomecommunity@sh.itjustworks and I see it in my "subscribed" feed? Does this reflect total points across the lemmiverse or will this just show upvotes from lemmy.world?
