@EloPup@mastodon.social yes and it makes ZERO sense to me. They would own all their content and followers and wouldn't have to wrestle with opaque algorithms to get their content seen

@andrijson@mastodon.au yeah I keep Threads and Instagram on a separate phone (an old iPhone SE) that has a different Apple ID, washi tape over the cameras, a dongle to physically block microphone access, an empty address book and empty camera roll. I don't trust them one bit!

And I rarely post on those apps anyways... just to Threads to tell people to migrate to the (real) Fediverse πŸ€—

 

My oh my. From ABC News Australia: "Facebook admits to scraping every Australian adult user's public photos and posts to train AI, with no opt-out option."

A summary:

"The company does not offer Australians an opt out option like it does in the EU, because it has not been required to do so under privacy law."

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-09-11/facebook-scraping-photos-data-no-opt-out/104336170

BTW the ABC News website has links to Facebook, Instagram and X but no Fediverse profiles. So their posts are used to train #Llama

@jerry thank you again Jerry!

Communication between Friendica and Mbin (mentions) doesn’t work at all. And I’m finding some strange bugs when it comes to federation of Mbin comments that mention Lemmy.world accounts (some show up, others don’t).

But the communication between Mbin and Mastodon is EXCELLENT βœ¨πŸ†βœ¨

Thank you for all your work on Fedia.io!

@kenkenken I totally agree with you, the term "Threadiverse" makes me cringe because of the Meta connection... but it's what people have been calling content aggregation projects on the Fediverse. I didn't come up with it πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Really liking #Mbin so far and happy about its interoperability
