About Instagram's "Threads" and people's concerns about privacy (lemmy.world)

I know that many people are concerned about "Threads" privacy policy and are all screaming "WE WILL BLOCK THREADS". I honestly can't see how it's going to gather any personal information since Lemmy, mastodon etc. doesn't collect any information at all. Like, how can you gather information about user, if he doesn't have any information about himself. Sure, Threads will collect info about its users, that's obvious, but I think it's a bad idea to just block it from the start

They got 10M signups in hours. I honestly don’t think they are in this after “the rest of the fediverse.”

If they didn't care about the population on the Fediverse, they wouldn't implement it. They might be concerned about what it could be in the future, rather than what it is now.

By invading the space and outdoing the competition, they gobble up the growth our space could have had more effectively.
