Attached: 1 image Threads hiding @pixelfed mentions, not a good look Meta 🙄

For anyone wondering if Threads and Facebook at large will be a fine neighbor in the space and compatible with other apps/services in the fediverse: they’re already automatically hiding comments that mention Pixelfed https://mastodon.social/@dansup/112126250737482807

    Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but my understanding is that since LW will federate with them, any content they host, will end up on meta.

    For example, this discussion we’re having right now is on [email protected]. So it doesn’t matter whether our own instances have defederated meta - our posts and comments here will bring them value. Directly, in the form of content. And indirectly, in the form of processable data for machine learning, shadow profiles, etc.

      Your understanding is wrong. Instances don’t forward stuff from other instances to other instances. Instances only send their own content directly to the instances they federate with.
