Blocking Threads won't be enough to protect privacy once they join the Fediverse
If you have personal information you do not wish bad actors to see, do not publish it using an open protocol explicitly designed to allow anyone to read said information.<p>Defederating from Meta as a solution is stupid - Meta can (and will if they actually care enough) just rejoin undercover.<p>Furthermore, when it comes to the fediverse, Meta is actually one of the <i>more</i> trusted actors compared to whatever else is on there - at least they&#x27;re a known legal entity instead of some random.<p>Finally, the fact that publishing private information publicly on the fediverse wasn&#x27;t considered an issue before Meta came along shows just how irrelevant the whole thing is - the data has been public all this time, but the network is so irrelevant that not even bad actors cared enough to actually scrape it (or at least do anything with it).
