"We shouldn't fight #bluesky, boycott #nostr or bully instances that federate with #threads. They are allies. Today. To get to the next step."

My gut feeling says that this next step can take some years still, before we start to act as allies.

ORG's new report exposes Meta’s intrusive profiling of its users.

With the introduction of Generative AI to Meta’s ad tools, existing problems with opacity will get worse.

Threads get direct messages and the highlighter for hot topics

Meta's X alternative allows messaging to and from followers for the first time, but there is criticism. The highlighter follows the trends of the former Twitter.

Meta's murky ad system uses your personal data to sell adverts 💸

What we know about how ads are targeted isn't consistent. This means advertisers can use proxy data on the DL that can cause discrimination against users.

Proxies can be created by training an algorithm with historical data about user activity.

So associated characteristics can stand in for one that an advertiser wants to target.

This can reveal data which is protected by anti-discrimination and data processing laws.

There are many examples of discrimination and harm caused by profiling and ad targeting.

They include:

🔴 Gender discrimination in who sees job ads.
🔴 Racial discrimination in housing and education ads.
🔴 Predatory data collection and targeting by online gambling sites.
🔴 Inappropriate products promoted to under 18s.
🔴 Discriminatory and predatory advertising of credit.

Plus more.

These fuckheads need to watch the film #Threads. It worked on ronnie.

In terms of Threads account portability, @davidimel's excellent question, and @pcottle's response: Mosseri was very candid about the goal here in his original quote in July 2023:

“I think we might be a more compelling platform for creators, particularly for the newer creators who are more and more savvy, if we are a place where you don’t have to feel like you have to trust us forever.”

And his Mosseri's December 2023 quote is similar:

"Eventually, it should also be possible to enable creators to leave Threads and take their followers with them to another app/server") is along the same lines."

As I said in Embrace, Extend, and Exploit: Meta's plan for ActivityPub, Mastodon and the Fediverse

Hmm, "eventually" is doing a lot of work there. How long will it take, and real will the story turn out to be? It's hard to know. For one thing, Mosseri has said that Threads' current plan is to "explicitly opt in to your content being available on other servers"; while that's good from a privacy and safety perspective, if they follow through it would also mean that creators to leaving won't be able to take all their followers with them. [If somebody's following you on Threads but hasn't opted in to federation, then when you move to an instance in the real fediverse they won't be following you any more.] And until "eventually" happens, creators can't actually move any of their followers to the fediverse. So we shall see.

But from Meta's perspective, so what? As Mosseri says, the goal here is to make people feel like they don't have to trust Meta forever. It's a good story, and that by itself has a lot of value at this point. It's getting favorable coverage in the tech press, too."

Last Week in the #ATmosphere:

- 20 million accounts on #Bluesky
- #Threads is taking the competition with Bluesky serious; Bluesky might be closer in size to Threads than thought
- experiments with visualising the firehose
- and a ton of links

The answer is: 1 (doesn’t count though because he’s a threads tech engineer).

The answer is: 1 (doesn’t count though because he’s a threads tech engineer).

An important distinction is slowly being uncovered about the definition of the term "fediverse." Who is it that gets to decide what this place is? How are we being represented? These are not easy questions to answer and if we don't do a better job describing ourselves, then the job will get done for us by people who don't understand the underlying values we hold. #fediverse #meta #threads
