Probably. Also, look at myactivity.google.com . Any info you have there can be handed over to a government

PRC*

PCR is funny, though

Flax_vert ,

Threads won’t affect Lemmy that much. Threads users will basically have to deliberately interact with Lemmy posts or communities to show up.

Flax_vert ,

It says here it’s more of a hassle than actually impossible. Which yeah, probably, considering how little care people take towards accessibility

Flax_vert ,

Yeah, didn’t he also attack user data from BT/EE? And apparently stalked women or something. As funny and impressive as this specific incident is, it was a final straw

Flax_vert ,

Ironically, white hatting generally pays more than black hatting

Flax_vert ,

She was just one of His many followers, it’s quite an absurd speculation. Also doesn’t say that she was a prostitute anywhere.

Flax_vert ,

Or the ones who thought street lighting was demonic. This pattern has basically occurred repeatedly throughout history

Flax_vert ,

If it was a biblical fact, you could give me details by giving me biblical references, not a french fiction novel 😂

Flax_vert ,

The infancy Gospel of Thomas was written well over one hundred years after Jesus had already left earth, in the second century. It claimed that Jesus performed random frivolous miracles for fun, when the Gospel of John said that the water to wine miracle was the first. We also don’t know who “Thomas the Israelite” is either.

It’s likely just something someone made up to try and give a narrative for Jesus’ childhood.

Jesus also likely cast the demons out of Mary Magdalene while in His thirties. Jesus wouldn’t need a female partner if He actually was truly God.

Flax_vert ,

What are you trying to prove? The infancy gospel of thomas was written likely around 180AD and even then, people were already calling it out as being a fake.

You clearly aren’t looking for an open-minded discussion by calling me “delusional”, anyway.

Flax_vert ,

What? I asked for references from the actual collection of documents that depict Jesus, instead of a fictional novel written in 2003

Flax_vert ,

Feddit.uk present

Flax_vert ,

Honestly? I don’t think Lemmy will even see 1% of Threads content. So I don’t see why we’re fussing over defedding here.

Flax_vert ,

Makes a new messaging app every few years

Complains when iMessage has a monopoly

The complaints are valid, but Google had more than enough power to compete

Flax_vert ,

Weren’t they planning on making it interoperable?

Flax_vert ,

Remember when you could just tap your phone on someone else’s?

Flax_vert ,

People know where their chip is now though because of contactless

Flax_vert ,

It worked previously with Bluetooth. Then instead of Google changing it to work with nearby share instead, it just kills it for no reason.

Flax_vert ,

I think we should encourage politicians, governments and public figures to either self host or use non-threads instances. That way, Threads cannot easily shut off AP support or screw around too badly or their own content will decline.

Right now, social.bbc is a thing. Hopefully when threads launches activitypub, they’d notice that having a presence on both threads and their own instance is pointless, and prefer their own instance

Flax_vert ,

They don’t care about our cause that much. They have other reasons we can use to convince them. Also, defederating isn’t the main goal here. The main goal is to stop Meta from doing Embrace, Extend, Extinguish. Because it will make Meta reliant on ActivityPub, so they cannot pull the ActivityPlug

Flax_vert ,

It would push threads to have federation to be Opt-out

Flax_vert ,

Same. So what if someone doesn’t want to federate/defederate, but I don’t think people should be hassling admins to defederate

Flax_vert ,

I’m pro federate, but honestly, this seems fair. However Lemmy wouldn’t need it, as to see a threads post on lemmy, the person would have to @ the lemmy community in their post.

Flax_vert ,

Yep. And the ones that do know and want to post to our communities would probably have the right intentions anyway

Flax_vert ,

It’s quite decent in the UK. But I wish it had more customisability. Sometimes it cannot understand that I’d rather walk 15 minutes than buy a bus ticket for a 3 minute bus ride. But if someone was disabled and got free bus rides because of that, then of course it would make sense for them.

It can tap into bus data to see when it’s late and stuff. But sometimes the bus company messes up the data. Oops.

Lemmy.world Should Defederate with Threads

I think it’s pretty safe to say that the majority of us are here to avoid another corporate takeover of our preferred platforms. It would seem to me to be a tad irresponsible to allow Facebook into our space with open arms, allowing them to hoover up our data. I would love to keep using Lemmy.world, but will happily change...

Flax_vert ,

They’d hoover up your data regardless lmao. Anything you post here is fair game. It’s not the same as Instagram measuring how much you look at a post or your location.

Flax_vert ,

Honestly I like the ActivityPub idea. If ActivityPub becomes mainstream I am fleeing mainstream social media.

Flax_vert ,

Thing is, for someone to interact with a Lemmy Instance from threads or mastodon, they’d have to tag a community first in a post. So it would need to be very intentional, which if someone on threads is intentionally interacting with Lemmy, what’s the problem?

Flax_vert ,

That’s my plan 😂

Flax_vert ,

Then why are you posting publicly on the internet? Anything you post here is fair game.

Also, Meta’s data collection is from their own clients so they can target ads to you. This information is basically useless as you aren’t on their platform so they cannot take sensitive data and cannot target ads at you

Flax_vert ,

I think we should pressure public figures and governments to use non-threads profiles. That way if they pull the plug, there’s a loss to their own platform.

Flax_vert ,

If you don’t like it, just move to an instance that defederates

Flax_vert ,

Then what is that thing on the bed???

Flax_vert ,

Same thing

Flax_vert ,

THE CAR IS MALFUNCTIONING

Flax_vert ,

Or from the other perspective, pro life people see Abortion as violating the right to life.

Flax_vert ,

Why not just let them choose instead of trying to get users to brigade them? Personally I want my insurance federated with Threads.

Flax_vert ,

Some governments I think and the BBC are already using mastodon, and honestly, those big organisations used things like tweetdeck before instead of mainstream twitter apps. I can feasibly see big organisations like governments, politicians and media sites not wanting to use threads, and instead using their own instances to interact with threads users.

Flax_vert ,

That’s great news

Flax_vert ,

Eh, I can see politicians self hosting their own instances from their party or what have you. Same with governments. There is a potential as well that x.com may decide to federate out of survival if it gets too big.

Flax_vert ,

Trump being deplatformed, while having good reason, could have likely concerned cabinets and governments worldwide that they may as well “just in case”. Also, having something like “[email protected]” or “[email protected]” seems more legit then “[email protected]” or “[email protected]”. It’s a similar idea why they don’t use gmail/outlook addresses

Keep in mind, I’m talking governments and media organisations. They could likely just ask an intern to do it for them lmao. The benefits outweigh the cost. Even plenty of tech nerds have personal instances.

Flax_vert ,

Tides change. I think federating tomorrow is definitely off the table. Heck, even next year. But if the Fediverse balloons more and more, they may have reason to.

Flax_vert ,

Division comes before Multiplication, doesn’t it? I know BODMAS.

Flax_vert ,

Wasn’t this so they can justify not doing a 2statesolution on the world stage?

Flax_vert ,

Is hamas fine with a 2 state solution? I thought the issue was that Palestine was beginning to concede one so net@yahoo propped up hamas so they can keep fighting

Flax_vert ,

Exactly. It’s heartbreaking. You don’t need to wave a flag to be upset. It’s just innocent people dying constantly.

Flax_vert ,

I was honestly thinking of that during COVID. Have a conspiracy saying that the antivax conspiracies were peddled by russia or some form of deep state thing to kill off people who resist the instructions to get vaccinated
