I heard it will be on the Fediverse. Is it true? I heard it had 30 millions users registered on the first day. Wtf. The whole Fediverse doesn’t even have 10 millions users. I heard it will not be available in Europe, yet. I visited https://www.threads.net/ and I don’t know if it’ll be the Threads instance to the Fediverse. There’s nothing at the moment.

I wouldn’t like this contamination in the Fediverse. What are your thoughts?

    Your posts and comments are public. Anything you post to an instance that is not defederated with Threads can and will show up on Threads. Consider anything you post to pretty much be public domain (yes, even artists who post their pictures should be careful). Nothing is stopping anyone from taking a screencap of your content and posting it there either (this isn’t new). The best course of action is to message the admins of your instance and tell them how you feel about Threads. Tell them to defederate and never look back.

      Yes, but taking a screenshot is not even close to being the same as scraping my data.

        They’ll scrape this and get a JSON returned with the text. Its technically different but the end result is the same in the context of posts on lemmy.
