Threads' New Terms & Conditions Affects the Fediverse
wedistribute.org
Threads, Meta's new microblogging platform, is updating its terms to focus on data collection from "Third Party Users".

This shouldn’t come as a huge surprise. Meta is moving forward with their plans for Theads and the Fediverse, and their adjusted terms reflect a new impending reality for Fediverse users.

    Without jumping through flaming hoops, though… does the “Threads” tab really ever talk to the “Microblog” tab? (aside from your kbin account being able to interface with both)

    (I do find it funny that kbin’s “Threads” is their Lemmy/Reddit-like, and not their Mastodon/Threads/Twitter-like)

      I don’t use it, so I’m not super clear on it. It does feel like a bit of an afterthought.

      I do know that I’ve interacted with Mastodon users in fediverse comment threads via kbin in the “regular, reddit-like” interface. My understanding is that APub is APub is APub, and the client implementations define the format you see content in, and implement or do not implement different APub features based on how the developer(s) want to shape their client.
