Move to an instance that won't.
Burying your head in the sand doesn't change the fact that whatever LW does will affect all of Lemmy. They're too big.
Uuuh no it won't? The fact that they federate with Threads doesn't mean that my instance does. How does it affect me?
~~You posted this to a LW community, so your content and data will end up in Meta's hands as well.~~
No, that's not how federation works. My instance sends my content directly to everything my instance federates with. No instance takes content from other instances and sends it further - that is not a thing. I sent my content to lemmy.world and it is free to be there. Lemmy.world will not forward that to Threads.
