I will not.
I am of a different mindset than most here.
I did come here to get away from Musk and Meta originally, but I don't have any false sense of privacy on the internet like some seem to have here. Then, there's those that just don't understand exactly what data Meta can get from federating, which has been where at least a bit of the fearmongering has come from.
People seem to think that they'll be able to "sell your data" the same way they do if you were using their platform and that's just absolutely not the case. There ARE some nuances about what they can do and will probably do, but I see those as the trade-off of being able to have access to so many users while I'm in my own little safe space.
One of these things is simply stuff like ads being shown next to my posts on Threads for threads users to see. This doesn't bother me because if Fedi is successful, this has to be okay. People and companies need to make money and ads are just the most "known" way to do that.🤷♂️
