A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Ok yeah make sense! I'm definitely not a fan of Facebook's and Meta's data policies either.
But how is anyone going to control a decentralised platform tho? What you're describing seems like it would only apply to users on instances controlled by Meta, i.e. on threads itself. Or maybe I still don't understand how the fediverse works.
That doesn't really apply to Lemmy's content though, since unlike Lemmy.world, Threads users won't be able to create /c/ communities. If a Threads user wants to post to a community in a way that Lemmy recognizes them, they'll have to post it to one under a Lemmy instance's control, or Lemmy users won't see a thing.
Alright I see, thanks a lot for explaining
