    “WON’T SOMEONE THINK OF THE BIG MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR COMPANIES RIGHT TO STEAL OUR DATA AND INFILTRATE OUR SPACES TO DESTROY COMPETITION!?”

      TO STEAL OUR DATA

      Your posts are already publicly accessible - there’s no secret data that only becomes accessible to federated servers.

      TO DESTROY COMPETITION!?”

      I’m sure they’d like to, but how are you proposing they’re going to achieve that? Do you believe that Threads federating will somehow cause a mass exodus from other instances to Threads? Do you completely misunderstand how this all works and think that Meta will be able to manipulate the feeds on other instances or force them to carry Meta advertising or something?

      The only downside I see is potentially an Eternal September scenario, and that’s going to happen if and when the fediverse becomes mainstream, regardless of how that happens.

      Bruv, I’m thinking of the users who want to see what they want to see instead of what others want them to see.

      STEAL OUR DATA

      Bruv, you’re just parroting a talking point that exists to out you as someone who is clueless. It’s been said, many times, that all the data in the fediverse is already openly accessible.
