They’re getting access to your your lemmy content either way.
That’s not an argument for cooperating with them.
That’s not at all what I’m talking about.
But it’s what matters, and it is what the person you originally replied to was talking about. (Edit- it’s not what they were talking about, I thought you’d replied to a different comment. The rest of my point stands.)
Whether I personally see Threads stuff does not relate to whether Meta can and will create an inflection point that distorts the fediverse into something different than it is today. Nothing in their history points in any direction OTHER than - we’ll all be making another exodus at some point, to get away from them and companies like them.
Edit: I say again - literally no upside to federating with Threads for anyone except Meta.
You’re free to not federate with them but due to the open nature of the fediverse there’s nothing you can do to stop them from federating with you. What ever you post they have access to.
Still. This has nothing to do with what I was talking about.
In any case, I’m doubtful we have common ground in any area here to try building on, and it feels like we have been talking past each other this entire time, so this will be my final participation in this interaction with you. Good day.
Already done.

Federation doesn’t mean “can scrape your data”
OK.
They can scape your post history. Anyone can. You can only prevent this by not postin.
I know that, but it’s not what “Federate” means.
