I think it's pretty safe to say that the majority of us are here to avoid another corporate takeover of our preferred platforms. It would seem to me to be a tad irresponsible to allow Facebook into our space with open arms, allowing them to hoover up our data. I would love to keep using Lemmy.world, but will happily change instances if need be, and I feel many share that sentiment.

I do agree that this is a good step, but those of us that are concern about privacy arent protected. It will stop the receipt of data on our end, but Facebook will still have access to any posts interacted with by Threads users.

Given their habit of creating advertisement shadow profiles of non Facebook user, that is concerning.

It would, however, all me to migrate to an instance that isnt federated with threads, and block leas savory instances here on Lemmy who arent data concerns.

Google already indexes lemmy and mastodon.

Are we being defeatist about it? Because I don't think the solution to data privacy invasions is to just directly give them all the data straight into their servers.
