Do you think Threads (Meta's Product) will add such a feature that allowed anyone to migrate their account to their own server? I have no belief that they'll do, but I can only hope, as I love that feature on Fediverse platforms (mastodon comes to mind).

I know that it's still not perfect as I've read on some Mastodon thread by a few users saying it doesn't migrate a lot of your stuff (posts included), but hopefully threads could help improve this for us Fedi users.

Again, feel free to downvote this because of the Threads TM relation in the title. I know you guys (and gals) hate Meta, me too. :)

Integration so they can slurp up people's data. That is their entire business model, slurp up data and sell advertising profiles based on that data.

All of that data is public. Federating Threads gives them access to zero additional data.

There's nothing keeping them from scraping that kind of data now.
