The servers still have access to user data and can be subpoenaed by governments or hacked. They aren’t designed around implementing end-to-end encryption. The whole point of these services is to be a platform for publicly posting and consuming information. And the only data Gmail has about Jane comes from her interactions with you and any other Gmail users.ĭecentralization doesn’t change the basic functions of a social network, and that’s fine. So Gmail has all of your emails and usage history, and Jane has all of her own emails and usage history, but the only data she has about you on her server is the emails you’ve sent her. But then you can communicate with all the other servers running the same protocol, and the only data everyone on all those other servers can see from you is the content you choose to put out there. You join a server, and you’re trusting that server with your data. That’s how “the fediverse,” or federated services, work too. Meta has also already sketched out details of the plan in its supplemental privacy policy for Threads. But incorporating decentralization into Threads, and specifically supporting ActivityPub, has reportedly been a core aspect of Meta’s vision for the app from the beginning. The company has already spent years, for example, working on its longtime promise of default end-to-end encryption on Messenger. Meta says that Threads will start supporting ActivityPub “soon,” a descriptor that doesn’t necessarily inspire confidence. This means that if Meta follows through, you’ll be able to see and interact with Threads content from other platforms and services that support the standard, which is known as ActivityPub. The company announced yesterday that it is planning to make Threads interoperable with other, non-Meta social networks that support a decentralized protocol already used by WordPress and 2022’s decentralization poster child, Mastodon. Linktree invented the bio link tool in 2016, and it continues the world’s most popular bio link to this day – with 40M+ people using it as their trusted place to share, sell and grow online.But one thing is different this time: Meta is dangling an opportunity to essentially be on Threads without signing up for the platform at all. Other link-in-bio companies don’t provide extensive data on what’s going on.” – Riley Lemon ”Websites are cool (I have one) but Linktrees just make it so much easier.” – Tan Nguyen ”It’s so much easier to set up and have all of your links in one place in a well designed format.” – Catie T
Once I got Linktree set up, I was like, oh my god – why did I spend $100 on a website? I don’t need all of that! Now, I can see the monetization of my following becoming a full-time thing.” – David Coleman I can’t remember what I was using at the time, but it was one of those ones that were supposed to be easy. “Four months into creating, someone messaged me like: You need a Linktree. We have our own opinions here, of course, but the stories of the people who use Linktree matter more.
