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 started just taping over the lights of anything in my bedroom. I figure if it also makes a goofy noise when it turns on, thats how I know its frickin’ on.
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.
The secret sauce though is that one out of every 3 reels is ragebait. just a different kind that you cant get away from because you’re so addicted to the scroll feature
Really? Feels like a graveyard when I log in. I mean everyone over 65 still uses it and there are a lot of weird holdouts but all my friends moved over to instagram, which is so much worse than facebook ever was IMO
I definitely think getting interested in the fediverse is a long game. Think the death of Facebook. It was a slow burn between 2016 and 2020, involving lots of different communities moving at different times for different reasons
Really its just devolving into a fascinating experiment in how much momentum it requires people to leave a platform en masse in 2023.
