  • Warning: lemmy.world just got hacked

    Jump

  • They changed root folder / frontpage, if you access lemmy.world from web browser you'll be redirected somewhere

    However, you still can access lemmy.world through applications

  • What's something you wish to bring back from the late 90's/early 00's internet?

    Jump

  • It's not all bad, but I miss the sort of "wild west" feeling where nothing on the internet mattered because it wasn't real life.

    Well.. We have lemmy and kbin now, without algorithms promoting stupid shit like in social media.

  • Threads versus Twitter: Shouldn't we be happy the wheels are falling off antisocial social media?

    Jump

  • Honestly, I don't care as long as they are stay away from fediverse

  • Curious about Mastodon. How should I pick a server?

    Jump

  • Is there an update on this instances privacy policy ? Data gathered and stored about us?

    Jump

  • It's far less dangerous than using Threads

    As long as they don't ask for your phone number, ID and you don't expose yourself. You'll be fine.

  • We should start saying "Thanks /u/spez" from now on as reddits bad practices made us move to lemmy

    Jump

  • Thank you so much u/spez for your hard work!

    Without you I won't be here 😘

  • How does an app like Threads get access to financial, political, health, religious or browsing info through your phone's OS. What is the actual source of that data?

    Jump

  • No one realised or really cared until the Cambridge Analytica scandal happened, what makes me furious is that this is still happening today. Millions of people joined Threads, even Rochko's statement on the mastodon blog tends to embrace Meta.

    While other mastodon admins declined Meta's invitation

    Threads app itself is a privacy nigtmare

    and YSK : Because of Threads app that makes Meta a threat to the privacy of fediverse users, if there are fediverse instances that remain federated with Meta.

    Ross Schulman, senior fellow for decentralization at digital rights nonprofit the Electronic Frontier Foundation, notes that if Threads emerges as a massive player in the fediverse, there could be concerns about what he calls “social graph slurping." Meta will know who all of its users interact with and follow within Threads, and it will also be able to see who its users follow in the broader fediverse. And if Threads builds up anywhere near the reach of other Meta platforms, just this little slice of life would give the company a fairly expansive view of interactions beyond its borders.

  • Reddit Refugees on Lemmy, how are you guys liking lemmy so far?

    Jump

  • petition: Defederate any instances that federates with threads proactivly , add threads.net on blocklists everywhere.

    Jump

  • I agree, any fediverse servers that remain federated with Meta servers, they are helping Meta to collect your data.

    Remember, the Threads app itself is a privacy nightmare.

  • This is one of our biggest concerns for our privacy. Since google is the biggest search engine, they think they could whatever they want with their googlebot. Fuck them!
