I know that many people are concerned about “Threads” privacy policy and are all screaming “WE WILL BLOCK THREADS”. I honestly can’t see how it’s going to gather any personal information since Lemmy, mastodon etc. doesn’t collect any information at all. Like, how can you gather information about user, if he doesn’t have any information about himself. Sure, Threads will collect info about its users, that’s obvious, but I think it’s a bad idea to just block it from the start

      privacy is but one concern

      Privacy is no concern. Privacy will only be harmed if your instance de-federates with meta as you can longer communicate with meta users from privacy respecting apps/instances, and will be forced into installing meta’s apps/using meta’s instance.
