@mahmoudajawad@mastodon.online @clifff@shakedown.social @Gargron@mastodon.social An awful lot of Mastodon data is simply not locked behind anything. Blocking the Threads app won't do much in that case.
The screenshots above are Threads asking the user's phone for data stored on that phone, and won't affect other users.
Not saying it's not a problem. But it shouldn't affect any user other than the one installing Threads. It's around as intrusive as TikTok or Facebook.

@codefolio@ruby.social @mahmoudajawad@mastodon.online @clifff@shakedown.social @Gargron@mastodon.social Also, all this blocking and #fedipact is just panicking. If blocked, you MUST use their app to interact with those people. If not, there's a huge community coming that we can interact with without giving up data. I wouldn't doubt it if Meta started or fueled the panic so you'll have to give up your data when your non technical family and friends move in.
