MODERATORS
While I want to support decentralized approach, tbh at this point anything with correct moderation can be better than Twitter lol
The ONLY good thing about the existence of Threads is that I'll finally be able to follow people from Instagram without actually having to use Instagram. Otherwise it's the largest honeypot of the entire Fediverse
I seriously doubt you'll be able to see Instagram content from any other app. At most, they'll federate Threads content. But more probably they'll only federate inwards: Threads users will be able to follow anyone on the Fediverse, no one outside will get to see anything from inside.
All social media are same lol
It’s like this for every major mainstream social media app
Eh... All the data is already with meta through Instagram, it's users is the target here. I'm sure most of Instagram users aren't complaining that much about collection of data. As long as this kills twitter I'm happy. Who knows it might point the rest of the users towards eventual decentralisation.
I don't know if it this new service will be able to read posts from Lemmy or not, but I've already blocked this monstrosity just in case.
Twitter collects just about as much data
