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.

Yeah that was my understanding, fb will collect the data whether your server is federated with threads or not, fb could even make alternate servers not named "anything meta" and still get the data, but at this point I think they can just get it anyways. I guess the data would be likes, posts, comments, subs your in etc.
