      You’re downplaying your own part, in between those two statements.

      Internet rando: “I choose to enable this corporate, repeat privacy offender in strongarming its way into the open, federated web”

      Edit: spelling

        How is Threads going to breach your privacy by federating with your instance? How is de federating from Threads going to protect your privacy?

          Do you think this is Threads’ final form? Embrace, extend, extinguish. This is what corporations do. Everything is a zero sum game in their minds, and they will act in the best interest of shareholders. That shit has no business here.

            I was going to reply but you nailed it. Its about outmaneuvering smaller competitors and controlling the marketplace, and then harvesting user data for profit.

                  What point was that? If you don’t join Threads, they don’t have your data. They do have everything you publish to the Fediverse though, no matter what you do.
