Yup, that is what professional/corporate scrapper do from the very beginning. Fediverse has poor privacy, and it is designet that way. It is better to share only safe content to fediverse for our safety, and share more private things on messaging/chatting apps like matrix or email only to person we trust.

Technically, yes. But if you are caught red handed, be ready for the mass ban to your account/instance.

On all instances. Each instance has copy of what happened and every action is relayed by community instance (in this case, Beta) to all subscriber of the community.

No worries, Lemmy is alive. Lemmy and Fediverse in general is better to grow organically.

A fediverse specific glitch.

Here is the tutorial, please make YOUR OWN server if you dislike admin choice. Thx!

Yayyy!!!

I agree with you!

In western cultural hemisphere, yes. Antimeta and anti big-corporation backed social media has gained big momentum.
Meanwhile on global south, they didn’t even know what privacy is. And fediverse user on my country is less than 1000 from tens of millions people. In global-south at least, I saw potential to introduce fediverse to greater masses using thread.

I didn’t say we should harass admins, I’m saying it’s up to us as a community to either move to an instance that defederates or if you know what you’re doing, stay on an instance that does federate and don’t add content to Threads.

I don’t imply that it is you, but the harrassment did happened.

It bothers me that after leaving for-profit social media, a lot of people here are totally fine going straight back to them. Have we really learned nothing?

I think it is different, when we use their services on their platform, they are our lords. They can do anything to our content and identity there with little to no retaliation potential. When we interact with them using fediverse, we can hold our ground and control what data we cede to them to interact with their users.

Yup, same opinion here. If I can add, most intensivist are native denizen of fediverse, they use fedi long ago before elon even think to buy twitter. They takes root here to escape persecution and harrasment when using mainstream socmed. Whereas extensivist is mostly twitter refugees or those who only knows fediverse after elon bought twitter and using twitter to escape bad owners and worsening community. They then attracted to fediverse autonomy and potentials, and want to use fediverse to replace mainstream social media. They want to use fediverse to ensure there are no el*n-buy-twitter-then-kill-the-platform again.
Both are valid motives to use fediverse, but it is contradictary.

I think it is more self-deprecation than elitism as (in my image) normies tend to have more friends and healier relationship and hobbies.

This is why I place it as third and optional goal. Few percent of people who knows fediverse doesn’t participate in it because not many instance is as reliable as big companies service. They may be willing to migrate to mastodon when the software is more matured, but now migrating to threads instead because of meta’s backing.

What can we do as user though? Other than whining which make instance admins and moderators job more difficult, we can only do very few things to stop meta. Fediverse is free, it is better for us users quietly migrate away from instance that don’t align with our value (in both ways) than harrasing instance admins. At worst it will make admins rage-quit then all of sudden your (or our) instance is gone like that mastodon.online…

Their main goal is to kill twitter. Their second goal is to skirt antimonopoly laws when they succeed to kill twitter. Their third and optional goal is to starve twitter-like fediverse apps from users. They has loads of resource, if they can come with good and familiar ui without usual growing pains that fediverse has (server overloaded, client not ready), many non tech savy users will never look beyond threads. Thus robbing mastodon, calckey, pleroma, etc from potential users and attention.
