Not that I’m a fan of Facebook here but are you like, assuming Twitter wasn’t collecting your personal data? Also you use your Instagram account to log in to threads so by using it you’re not giving up any more personal information than you already were. Going from not using Twitter or Facebook or Instagram to using Threads might be a bad idea but if you already use any one of those three it makes zero actual difference which big tech billionaire you’re giving your personal information to.
orrrr you can give them nothing as we do on the Fediverse. I think that’s the point here
Well that wouldn’t be the point here because the meme is comparing Twitter and Threads, not Mastodon/Lemmy and Threads. That’s why it doesn’t make sense lol.
My point is that Threads is being hyped up as a Twitter-alternative sans baggage whereas it doesn’t really matter because both take lots and lots of your data
I just don’t think data privacy is even in the top 10 reasons why the average Threads user is on Threads. They’re on Threads because Twitter is getting worse and less usable by the day due to Musk’s erratic decisions, and Threads offers them something that’s functional, free, and not rate-limited.
I certainly don’t want to embrace threads due to data privacy issues, but I also don’t use Twitter.
Threads just sounds like Mastodon with extra steps.
Skip it and go to mastodon.social (then move instances once you get to know the platform)
Morally correct? What does that mean?
What is this bollocks lmao

Accepting the Threads terms and conditions of use feels like when someone makes a pact with some demon in exchange for fame
