I’m actually excited about Threads because it supposedly uses ActivityPub. I know all my non-techie friends are going to use it and I should be able to participate from my self-hosted Mastodon instance.
If on your server you have one set of privacy rights that your users agree to, but then if their posts are Federated over to Meta, that has their set of privacy rights that is less encompassing/ protecting and not agreed to by your users, what does that mean legally?
I’m sorry to break it to you but from what I’ve read their federation will be based on whitelists and only federate with very large mastodon instances.

They won’t get access to your location, lol
And how about the rest?
Also, why is that so funny to LOL at, asking that question?

Figures. It did sound a little too good to be true.
