Hey peeps. By now you all heard that Zuck's meta has started and in a defederated mode. This instance has already signed the Anti-Meta Fedi Pact and we plan to not help improve the value of Facebook, if and when they plan to open federation.
However I am thinking we can have a bit of fun beforehand.
You see, Threads is extremely sanitized in order to be "corporate friendly". Naturally this makes their service as exciting as a bowl of plain porridge. However in order to keep their corporate partners happy, they are also extremely cautious about anything controversial and will likely defederate from anything too spicy.
So why not use this an an opportunity to make Threads defederate from us?
What would you say that we leave federation up, but use the opportunity to share with the larger threads populace some important information about filesharing? Sharing is caring after all and we have plenty of knowledge to give.
Naturally, if this doesn't work, we will defed them ourselves soon after anyway, but I expect it will. What say you all?

As long as they don't get access to our data I think we will be fine? I'm definitely not joining threads but I don't see any issues in federating with them either.
The user data they will be able to access is the same you can see in a user profile, things like posts, username and matrix contact. I am not really sure if they will see your upvotes and down votes because I have seen a post in ysk showing you can see who votes in posts. I would like to know if this is enough to profile someone but I am not knowledgeable in that area
sure but they won't be able to link that data to your phone or the other apps you're using so how are they going to know who's data it is
What happens in the Fediverse stays in the Fediverse
