#Threads is a reminder that a majority of your friends don't know or care about data privacy. They are the audience who will follow their fave celeb/influencer wherever they go.
Which underscores the different crowds on the Fediverse vs Big Tech. Untangling my online presence from places like Meta is difficult because none of my friends want to leave the familiar. Their connections are all there.
I'm literally alone on the Fediverse and I sound like a crazy person when I try to explain why.
To be fair, I have friends and family in the privacy business(?) who have warned us about this for years, and THEY sounded crazy at the time. But Facebook and Twitter made a lot of work and leisure easier, so here we are. Better late than trying to get people to come to my #Thread talk?
