Your lemmy data is on the public internet. Whether threads is federated with your instance or not, meta can still get all of your posts/comments.
A fair point!
The issue is less Facebook getting your data and more Facebook getting invited to the party when they have ruined every other party they were invited to.
We can’t really stop Facebook from peering into the window to the party, but we can slam the door in Facebook’s face when they knock and try to come in, as we should.
But realistically they won't and at least we make it harder for them. Don't make defederation sound like it's a lost cause when it isn't.
