Because Reddit in my opinion was the least worst social network until a month ago, now that I’m gone I’m not going to go signing up for another Zuckerberg/musk/spez monstrosity. I go on TikTok because I have a teenage daughter and we need something to talk about. Other than that…no. Federation/non-profit or nothing.
Sorry misunderstood your comment, yeah Threads/Meta is god awful for collecting data wouldn’t want to touch them personally
There definitely is money in it for Meta though, just yesterday there was quite a popular post showing the types of data that is available to both users and instance owners. If one wanted to they could use things such as your upvotes and down votes to build a sort of profile about you, your political affiliations, interests etc
Meta isn’t just a problem, ad companies can easily set up an instance to start collecting data from other servers
I’m avoiding because is Meta, deleted FB and Instagram in 2015 and WhatsApp when they merged the accounts! Already blocked Threads domain on my Pi-hole!
Meh, seriously contemplating deleting my Facebook, mostly for oooold friends. I enjoy Instagram. Fuck Threads. WhatsApp is the shit. And I’m in the EU.
I mean, the fact that it’s made by Meta should be a good enough reason. I’m avoiding Meta like the plague. Fucking sucks that I need Facebook Messenger for school group chats though.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !technology@lemmy.world
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I’m mainly avoiding it because it’s dumb
Did we really need a YouTube video to explain why one shouldn’t use meta products?
Twitter was always trash. Why would I want to use a halfassed knockoff version from an exponentially worse company?
Elron somehow made Twitter so bad that fake Zuckbook Twitter looks good by comparison.

Honestly! I don’t think a lot of people care about privacy.
Honestly if you’re using Lemmy all this information is already publicly accessible, any public forum isnt privacy friendly
Sure, the information we post here is public, but you can remain anonymous if you want.
I’m not talking about the public stuff, because that’s not where the money is for Meta. Here is the stuff the Thread app collects
Now juxtapose that with what the Lemmy app collects.
