Lemmy.world Should Defederate with Threads (lemmy.world)

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.

It really comes down to whether you believe that Facebook is scraping the entire internet right now or not.

I'd prefer to not directly feed my information into their servers.
