Threads?
Threads?
What is lemm.ee's stance on federating with Threads? Personally, I don't trust Meta at all and I certainly don't like the idea of the company profiting off me and my content. That's why I don't have a presence at Facebook at all right now.

I learned something new today that
mastodon.social(I could be remembering this wrong, it's one of the big instances) is run by, or adjacent to in some way, Cloudflare. So that kinda changes my perception of who's already in place on the fediverse. I haven't done any research into this but, this factoid was presented as CF basically already being in a position to hoover up user data, parse it in corpo ways, and do with it what they please. Meta/Threads is obviously fuelling the awareness that big players can continue to swoop in and do this.It's kinda the way fed is designed. If a community (or group of communities) wanna fight this it'll take cooperation and collaboration. Think whole neighborhoods of huge cities using bylaws to keep big box stores and fast food chains out. Or rural communities fighting pipelines and freeways from coming through, or huge suburb development plans, etc.
My two cents.
What are you talking about? I can't find anything to back this up, but I am curious. Their about page claims they are funded by patreon donations, and doesn't mention cloudflare anywhere.
Is it just that they use cloudflare services for traffic control, or they host on cloudflare? Especially if it is the former, that is pretty inane.
Thanks for clarifying, this may be the context I was unclear on. As per my disclaimer that I haven't researched in depth on it yet.
.social is the defsult instance run by the mastodon dev. Its not owned by Cloudflare
