I think this is a culture clash between the privacy minded FOSS crowd that is naturally drawn to a project like Lemmy and the influx of average redditors thats just looking for a new home.
If you already have zero trust in these megacorporations you will naturally gravitate towards preemtive defederation.
The fediverse is entirely public. Every action you take (all posts, votes, favorites, etc) is public. Meta will scrape all the data whether Threads federates or not, there’s no privacy difference because there’s no privacy!
If you’re out there reading this as a reddit user looking for a new home, and you can still have trust in these megacorporations, idek what to say lmao

Accurate. I’ve known for years that Reddit was going to go this way. As soon as I heard of this place I was onboard.
I don’t think any sane reddit refugee would trust corporations after experiencing first-hand how that ends up lol
