Well, I still have a Facebook account for the few people that are only on there. I am getting ads showing Threads posts, and if you click it, it takes you to threads and wants you to make an account.
So I’m assuming what is happening is that they’re taking posts from one service and showing them on their other services with click through to make accounts on those services. I guess they’re not honouring the privacy setting on the source service. Which if that is the case, is just terrible.
Oh, this might be some instagram/threads thing then, I know they share an account. I don’t use either of those services.
I know on Facebook there’s these ads for threads and it’s putting random thread “stories” (I don’t know what they’re called) up on the timeline. So I thought they were doing a similar thing between all three services and not honouring the privacy setting.
Still, just my personal opinion. If there’s automatic crossposting, the default really should be to use the more restrictive privacy setting for each service.
Ah, they made it private on Facebook, but not on Threads. Which they didn’t know it was also being posted to, but that’s by-the-by.
