This shouldn’t come as a huge surprise. Meta is moving forward with their plans for Theads and the Fediverse, and their adjusted terms reflect a new impending reality for Fediverse users.

    Everyone should change their instance to one they agree with. If you don’t want to be federated to Meta, go to an instance that’s not federated.

    User blocks are pretty much a simple filter, Meta will still have your data if you block them individually instead of defederating.

      Sounds great, but in the end it just means everyone has to host their own instance. That could be interesting, but I doubt everyone would want to do that.

      They are still getting the data even if we defederate them, right? It’s only us who don’t get their data. This was my understanding on how federation works
