Ok, so I activated my #Threads account (my reasoning was that I already have #Instagram anyway so it's not like I'm giving Meta anything they don't already have).

Ok, so I activated my #Threads account (my reasoning was that I already have #Instagram anyway so it's not like I'm giving Meta anything they don't already have). I was surprised to find that there no option to federate with the #Fediverse. I'm guessing this is, somehow, not rolled out globally yet?

@muiiio if you're not in the EU, the option is in the account settings. If you're in the EU, GDPR is currently prohibiting them from doing it because they can't ensure all Fedi servers will delete your info on request.

@muiiio Not in the EU, for some reason.

[muiiio@mst.muiiio.com]

@kallekn Apparently it's a GDPR issue.

[kallekn@mastodonsweden.se]

@muiiio Weird in that case. You turn it on yourself, or don't.

[beaware@social.beaware.live]

@kallekn @muiiio the issue is that they can't guarantee other servers will delete your data on request.

[kallekn@mastodonsweden.se]

@BeAware @muiiio Have they said so somewhere?

[beaware@social.beaware.live]

@kallekn @muiiio Yes, but it was an employee in a random post that I probably wouldn't be able to find.sorry.
