That's why I keep saying it's pointless to defederate corpos. They'll just scrape everything before you notice.

Defederation is more about not being flooded with 1000x more users than the Fediverse currently has

Unfortunately a lot of people think it's to do with scraping as well. The amount of "defederate Threads so that they can't scrape my data" posts I saw was about 50-50 with the sensible takes.
