Forgive my ignorance but how is Threads part of the fediverse? How did .ml defederate it?

Threads announced they are going to open up an activitypub interface to federate

Uh, wouldnt this make more sense for mastodon instances to defed? Can we even see mastodon posts on lemmy? I know they can post here, but its always like a lost in translation weird post.

They don't want Facebook to be able to pull data from Lemmy.ml

I thought it's cause they didn't want it to be flooded/overrun by the massive amount of posts from threads. let's face it, threads is going to have a waaaaay bigger userbase. I mean shit, it already does if Instagram accounts automatically have a threads account.

People left reddit because reddit started charging for data access, and not the same people say they don't want others to have access to their public data.
