So if I read this right, no big deal as long as you don't interact with threads stuff on the fediverse?
That's not how I read it, but I'm not going to claim to be a fediverse expert. That post specifically says:
To me, this reads as, even if a Threads user follows you, your info gets chewed up by Meta.
In other words, if you post somewhere on the Fediverse, and some Threads user bumps into it, they can follow you, and that will send all that data to Meta. And it looks to include data well beyond the post the Threads user saw.
To me, this is a "sound the alarm" moment. If you came here to avoid Meta's data harvesting, this sounds like you at least need to be on an instance defederated from threads, but I'm not sure even that's enough.

exactly
and that is why #hubzilla and #streams have a permission system to avoid that... you can set up rules and decide who can see your posts and what they can to with it...
have a look at this FEDI projects
