minus-squaretroed@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up0·26 days agoThis is how the protocol works. You only get content from those you follow (in your home feed). Your server’s local feed will contain all posts made by users on your server. Your server’s global feed will contain all posts from users someone on your server follows. Note how #3 isn’t actually a global feed. Spin up your own server at home and it will be the same as your home feed when you’re the only users. Even if you federate with Threads, there’s simply no way for them to “inject ads” into any of these feeds.
