Nicht schlimm, aber es nervt ein bisschen.
Warum packt ihr lange Texte in #Threads?, anstatt in einen #Blogpost*.
1 Thread ist imho eine Sammlung von Gedanken, zusammenhängenden autarken Posts, die auch für sich stehen können.
Mich nervt das Zugemülle meiner Timeline. Danke für die Aufmerksamkeit und nun zurück in die angeschlossenen Fedihäuser.
* oder geht zu #Friendica oder so ;)
pride is also a special time for me because that's when i first created @FediPact two years ago
This is the most passive-aggressive user account status notification I have ever seen.
If you’re on #Threads, federated to the multiverse, just use Mastodon.
Threads is bullshit.
Un team di ricercatori internazionali ha scoperto che #Meta (proprietaria anche di #Threads) avrebbe utilizzato un sistema segreto per monitorare la navigazione web degli utenti Android, bypassando le comuni misure di protezione della privacy. Secondo un team di ricercatori, questa attività di tracciamento, iniziata lo scorso settembre, è stata interrotta da Meta solo dopo che la loro indagine è stata resa pubblica.

Depending on where you live, Meta keeps track of your:
* Full name.
* Previous name if you change your name
* E-mail (past, current, future)
* Date of birth and age.
* Address (past, current, future)
* Living state (do you own, lease, or rent)
* Phone number (past, current, future)
* Cellular device model (past, current, future)
* Cellular device IMEI number (serial too, if provided)
* Friends
* Family relationship
* Relationship status
* Marital status
* Personal associations status
* Sexual preferences
* Gender identity
* Education (past, current, future)
* Employment status (past, current, future)
* Income
* Travel status (GPS)
* Shopping
* Political affliction
* Government affiliation.
* Browser history
If you had to verify your account and submitted documentation, we additionally keep track of:
* Residence status
* Driving status (if you have a license or not)
* Whether if you have passport or not. - But the system will assume you do, if they notice your travel status (GPS) moves internationally.
Meta does voluntarily submit information to government authority without a warrant. -- It is there for the taking.
Meta does not always (cannot always) disclose that information was requested. -- That includes, WhatsApp, too.
#Meta #Facebook #WhatsApp #Threads #Instagram #Messenger
If at any time you shared a link back to any of your personal accounts, anywhere -- Meta knows you have an account.
That includes competing social media platforms, such as the Fediverse.
The value in this is both market resource and further marketing, for example, if you talked about watching Netflix, expect Meta to recommend, HBO Max. And if Meta notices you're using a known competing app or platform, Meta's app will increase the notification to draw you back to Meta.

Find all the official/verified accounts from #news organizations in the #Fediverse (or followable from here) in my very big table:
https://fingolas.eu/fediverse/overview.html
There is a very powerful search and and export function for easy import into #Mastodon. Now even the flag emojis are working again.
Please let me know, if there are some missing in there!
Many are also from #Threads, but as you still can't federate here in the #EU, they are mostly from #America (USA and Brazil in this case).
Some are:

Think Before You Share
While this video is aimed mainly at parents of children, I recommend that we all are cautious with what we share on social media and the Internet, especially on sites and services which are run by corporations. I have long felt uncomfortable with posting on sites such as Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and Twitter due to their connections to billionaires who make their money using and selling our data for their own interests. It's one of the reasons I post mainly on this website and on […]Meta – yep, Facebook Meta – is now a defense contractor
"Meta has partnered with Anduril Industries to build augmented and virtual reality devices for the military."
just in case you needed ANOTHER reason to defederate Threads...

It’s been spinning for a while, but it looks like Fediverse sharing is finally rolling out to Threads accounts based in the European Region.
(Update: Looks like it’s just a bug. See replies.)
Meta is now a defence contractor for the Trump regime:
"Meta has partnered with (Palmer Luckey's) Anduril Industries to build augmented and virtual reality devices for the (US) military."
https://www.theregister.com/2025/05/30/meta_is_now_a_defense/
Please Fedi admins, defederate Threads (threads.net, threads.com).
@openvibe made my life a lot easier!
I can post and comment on Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads and Nostr at the same thanks to the app.
I may occasionally talk about work, the same way others talk about their job too. But you only have my word, from an anonymous screen name,
There are unfortunately many scammers who claim to work for Meta or other companies. Take what they say with a grain of salt, but never approach them seeking support (ever). And if they approach you offering help, block them.
There are a lot of scammers who will claim they can help you with your issues. Real employees, cannot randomly help you even if they wanted to do so (we cannot).
Do not trust anyone, including me.
