The results are in around the #Meta / #Threads poll I put out a week ago and over 8.2K people have voted, thank you all
The recent App Store screenshots from the 'App Privacy' from Meta's new app Threads have concerned me and with the current status the question remains if it's even allowed within Europe
The chance that they will ever federate with us remains the question but with their current platform as-is we are gonna block them until many things improved
Keep in mind that the privacy settings from the Threads app you see on the screenshot only applies on THEIR platform
But I cannot be fully sure to what extend their data collection goes as far as search results for example
Until we have a better picture of how their new platform is gonna run in somewhat more details we can make a better decision
When / IF #Threads will release within Europe we will take another look and make a decision but until that happens we will keep the block
Since we are hosted in Europe I'm not sure it would be clever to federate with a platform that is not allowed in the EU
@stux Is mstdn.social allowed in EU? Where can I validate this?
@Alex0007 We check the boxes 
@stux I have stopped monthly subscription

It lasted one day lol, until you have decided for us that we don't want to federate.
This is sad, i really liked this instance, now i need to think about migration.
As Russian war emigrant i really hate those walls people are building because of their fears
@Alex0007 I get that
But it's not fear but logics
I am personally responsible for all content on my servers (also federated that you can see) and until they are allowed here we dont take the risk
@stux Then treat their content as usual, while it is not breaking rules/laws.
Delay with EU launch obviously not related with content, but GDPR, i think. Which is not related to mstdn instance at all
@Alex0007@mstdn.social @stux@mstdn.social i think it's also about how they would handle your data. Like i would not want my data being on a platform that doesn't even want to operate in my country because they KNOW they would get their asses clapped to hell and back if they try. I already defederated myself from them instance wide. That will stay that way. They did the same with Quest 2 and i never bought it. Refused to sell it in Germany specifically cause what they did with forced Facebook migration would get them in trouble. It did anyways since they also eventually forced it on everyone with older headsets like Quest 1.
Result was tons of shitty stuff happening from people getting their Facebook accounts banned immediately after migrating oculus to Facebook and losing all purchases and not being able to use the headset anymore. Also obviously the fact of connecting a VR Headset suddenly with a social media platform.
Few years later they did migration again from Facebook to a meta account which finally made them able to sell their headsets in my country.
Company just shady as hell. Shame they're the ones doing these headsets. Same now happening with threads
