I was thinking about joining one that’s federated with them. I’d get a look at the normal side of the internet, what’s going on there without having to join I forgot what’s it called.
In don’t think we should federate either but most of that data is public anyway. Everything on mastodon and lemmy can be scraped without being federated.
There is just no way that they will not get more data if you are involved directly with them.
If for nothing else we know they have had meetings with server owners across lemmy and mastodon and also meta have historically provided resources in the hopes of capturing a market. It is not that farfetched that they would have to provide funding when they federate with servers because their userbase is so huge and that could be detrimental to the freedom associated with lemmy.

Nah that is a positive for them as they will harvest the data on that server, so that is a no for me.
I’d imagine they’d get more data out of me if I was forced to join Threads directly.
But they are not the options, they will get all of your data by being a member, a lot by federating and fairly little by staying away from them.
Good thing being forced to join a website isn’t a thing, dawg.
You do realize that for a conversation to work, you should consider the whole context of it instead of just the last sentence said
